Please tell me you explained to him what a psu is and how close he was to possibly killing himself. Electrocution would eliminate any chances of repeat business.

sort of like that is how I killed my first PSU.. except I dropped a screwdriver through the back and shorted the PSU. loud bang. everything survived.
So glad LC-Power has certain standards for their PSU’s. that was a pretty good PSU.
