High voltage capacitors can stay dangerous for quite some time. I don't know if it is years, since that depends upon the leakage characteristics and how big the capacitors are. I think the "big" capacitors in PC PSU's are only 35V, but they may be big enough to deliver dangerous (to your heart) amounts of amperage.
What about the caps on the AC coming in? I don't know much about supplies, but won't those be charged to ~170v from the AC line?
