    Yeah, but if the regulation circuitry is improved, that quickly becomes the "take our style or screw off" approach

    Never have I gotten shocked on anything less than ~40v. That includes computers, car electrical systems (excluding the ignition system), and the power supplies we use in the lab at school (0-35v). Hitman is right, the resistance of skin is very high, several MegOhms and less when dry, if you do feel anything it would be so small it would be almost nothing anyway. Just dont go poking around in the actual power supply itself where you have household voltages present.
    When you turn off the switch on the back of the ps it just turns off the hot, everything remains grounded and you dont have to worry about knicking your fingers on a fan. :D

    I like the connectors on the hiper supplies more than the loose ones that fall out when you move the case back and forth to a lan. Something that locks into the supply seems like a nice improvement.

    Well, supplies like Enermax's Liberty, Mushkin's XP Series, OCZ's Game-X-Stream, Spire's Rocketeer, NZXT's precise, etc - they all use PCI-Express plugs, which have a little locking latch, which holds the cable damn well...
