    Re: Oops

    I always seem to get a little cut or bleed on a new build.

    It's all part of that ritual of sacrificing blood to the PC gods in order for the system to be stable.

    Worst I've had is a massive chunk out of my index finger, taken by a cheap SECC case with serated edges.

    Re: Oops

    Well the Akasa Infinity is big.... but it's not clever.

    It's clear why I was able to get it for around £50.

    Re: Oops

    The gods always seem to demand a blood sacrifice whenever I've built a PC too.. for my next build I may just ritually strangle a rodent and leave it in one of the 5.25 bays as a votive offering instead... hopefully it'll save on the little cuts.

    Cases are a lot better designed now, most with smooth edges. Older ones I used to put together used to come out with loads of cuts.
