Can the people in the know and/or those who've actually modded their PSU please post a sticky re safe way to discharge a PSU so that it can be safely opened for modding? And please, no "you have to unplug it for a week" or "poke it with a screwdriver" answers. And preferrably a detailed step-by-step guide, not some vague references to things only an EE would know or own.
I know this has been addressed before, but never in a definitive way, as far as I can tell.
Thanks!
By the way, all I want to do is switch my Enermax's 80mm exhaust to a Panaflo. Probably powered from the outside conectors, so I can rheostat it down.

http://forums.silentpcreview.com/forums ... php?t=2135 this thread has some info about the discharge of the PSU, I did that fan swap mod on my PSU as well, one thing I found that made my life easier when I was trying the fans out is to put a 3 pin male connector on the end of the PSU fan wires and then I could swap and choose what fan I wanted instead of constantly soldering it.... also make sure when u solder the wires they're not over the PSU PCB i did that and there's like this flake of solder over my PCB oops still works though but good thing to keep in mind leave it to the experts in this like TerryW to talk to u more about this
