The vision: this, apparently.
The reality: watching dust accumulate in places you can't possibly clean.
Pass.
Wdym? You can take apart a PSU somewhat easily
There's a reason a lot of devices usually have a "don't open, risk of shock/death" label.
You're not dealing with a main breaker panel or something, the worst thing is probably the big smoothing capacitors which would be a hell of a shock, but unlikely to kill you.
Just take some basic safety steps, like discharging the capacitor and you'll be fine
You already lost the average gamer at "discharging the capacitor".
The average gamer must be willing to tank the shock to clean their equipment.
