ATX PSU 2 Amiga 500 case tutorial now up

One point on the safety tip "MAKE SURE THAT THE POWER HAS NOT BEEN ON FOR AT LEAST 24hrs! This will allow the capacitors in the PSU to discharge and be safe to work with."

Surely the capacitors would discharge to a safe level within minutes if the bleeder resistors are doing their job, or never if the bleeder resistors fail. I don't see what leaving it 24 hours will do.

Capacitors can hold their charge for a long time. There are reports of people dying from shocks received by capacitors even when they havn't been used for weeks.
Realistically 24hrs is about rightfor fully functioning PSU's
