OUCH! Thanks for the tip mate...and i thought getting shocked by mains voltage from an exposed LC630 PSU was painful enough. :O
Anyway, i personally would do something different with it...i find that having two computers set up completely identically is boring...you need to have some variety. :)
I used to work in an electrical shop and we had a homemade tester there to check for continuity and it wasn't exactly CE or UL approved and I got hit with a goodly charge every now and again. All I can say it is a good thing that we use 110-120 in the USA and not the 220-240 they use in a lot of other countries or I might be dead right now. I don't see why other countries feel they need high voltage connections in homes in the first place. They may be a little more efficient, but if your kid sticks a fork in the outlet, forget it, he's dead.
