Probably not, but they do have to spend a fair amount of time making physical contact with highly conductive metal cases....
Can I send in my own PSU?

Okay, I appreciate not everyone is intelligent.
The Power supply is connected to the mains, with me so far, this means there is ALWAYS a potential that a power supply may have a fault resulting in mains voltage shorting to say case etc.
Additionally a faulty power supply can fail to convert, fail to transform voltage etc.
If you knew about electricity and spent a bit more time listening at school you would realise that, no you don’t need wet hands or suits of armour.
Simple one to do, do it during day, a second person is required.
with dry fingers, take light bulb out of socket, now put your dry fingers in to the socket, then have the other person turn the light switch on..... oh wow you don’t need wet fingers, amazing thing eh.
(nope really don’t try this at home, work or any where else).

A Corsair Platinum PSU is going to explode and take out every PCS tech in a 2-mile radius!

Hilarious.
oh yeah funny.
However, having witnessed others, suffer burns, lose fingers, someone blinded from working on electronics, yeah it’s a chortle a minute.
No obviously not quite as bad as that, potentially just one person injured needlessly from your obvious lack of understanding about what lethal voltages are.
There really should be a thread ’Peter & Jane explain Physics for Speshul People’

I trust no pixies were harmed............
Pixies get all excited when Caps explode.That's shocking........

(actually I usually cack myself as well when they pop lol).

Guys, I’m going to lock this thread. The question has been answered by a few different people, there isn’t any more that we can contribute, the OP needs to await PCS response.
I support this move. I don’t feel that it’s going anywhere and I definitely don’t agree with making light of the risk and subsequent harm of electrical injuries.
