Most Tasers work with 20 - 50 KV or more at > 1uA (carefully controlled) using metal pointed probes (to penetrate the skin) and no paint. It would take quite a bit more to get through the paint. I'm not sure you want this kind of voltage on your PC case. And PC cases are normally AC grounded through the PSU so I'm not sure how youd get the voltage on the PC case. Maybe you should find some other method?
12V @ 600amp is enough to make a cat jump.
