Re: "The power lead approached the PC..."
Years ago, before education services had corporate IT to install new kit (or indeed networks) I had to receive boxes and connect up new PCs. I was lucky, the first time I did this, to notice that there was a rocker switch with 110/240 positions -and it was worryingly open to accidental pressing- albeit with a bit of pressure, perhaps. It was OK, but after that I always checked new PCs. And on two or three occasions the rocker switch was set to 110. And one was just rather less firm than I'd have liked ( and more prominent). I've experienced the latter on a home PC too - and some other items as well if my memory serves me correctly.
It goes onto my mental list of *stuff that shouldn't ever happen but probably will*.
