If someone hasn't been inside a Compact Mac case before, their first taking a few minutes to read this primer from Tom Lee: http://lowendmac.com/2007/the-truth-about-crts-and-shock-danger/ . . . . . . .might be a good idea. As the article indicates, the CRT is worthy of consideration, certainly. However, there are other parts of the machine (namely, the power supply; see the last paragraph, headed "The Real Danger") that, while they don't get mentioned nearly half as often as the CRT, may also be worthy of consideration. It is sometimes helpful to understand the "why" behind the "what," which is why I bring it up.
