I once cut my thumb open on a broken hard drive bay and I just split my toenail doing some wiring stuff. And of course minor scratches on power supply corners all the time when working with my top 2 drives.
There was a unfortunate individual that nearly lost two front teeth due to a hard drive. It was placed on top of a 10 ream box of copier paper and the person pulling down the box from a high shelf didn't know this so when the box tilted towards them the drive slid off and popped them right in the kisser.
Aside from the occassional cut from a jaggeed case edge, I've been electrocuted a couple times. Not severe electrocution, just enough of a shot to hurt like hell for a while.
ive been cut by computer cases more times than i can count. ive seen people inserting ram, pci cards, etc when the computer is still on. one woman in particular was inserting a stick of ram while the PC was still on, and you could hear the electricity arcing because of the ring she was wearing. people are so stupid.
I was prying off a fan mount for a server case, and the screwdriver slipped, and I grated my finger on the grill like it was cheese. I got to see how my thumb worked, though. Evidently a lot of red stuff moves around.
the normal nicks and scratches. The worse are always when a cable is "stuck" and you pull so hard that it comes loose easier than expected and you smash your hand on whatever is behind it.
I was pushing the 5.25 bay covers out and one was a real bitch. Well it gave way and there was a nice skin flap on my left index finger, almost passed out!
I almost needed stitches for a cut I got from aluminum shielding on a mac drive bay and I was recenntly blown to the floor getting electocuted on my projector
