bah, psu caps are nothing.

Just get an instant camera with a flash bulb.... (Read: It says in big letters on the side "Do not open for risk of electrical shock" so of couse I did)...

weeeee 110V fully charged... I was doing some testing with it, and my hand slipped. Ouch.

Then, just to see what it would be like, I hooked up a 1.5V led to the cap in series... Quite the burnt black led I have now.

oh yeah, and when I had just opened the camera, I was holding the pcb with pliers (So I didn't shock myself of course) and they were metal, bad idea, the bloody cap arched the contacts (because I was grounded) and it scared the shit outa me (then I shocked myself)
