: OK, I'm curious. Why do people advise against removing the plastic shell cover from the monitors? I just read the post where someone said they were advised against it and I was wondering what the rationale was.
: I fully intend on removing the plastic shell from my monitor and want to know what the logic is behind not doing it (especially when I hear people ARE doing that with those Intergraph monitors from comprenew).
Well most people do not take the proper safety precautions while working with high voltage. Some of the voltages found in a monitor CAN kill you if you come in contact with them.
