My friend had to get stitches in his hand after he cut it on his case's interior. He dropped it while working with it.

I've cut my fingertips up on the solder points of stubborn peripheral cards (sound, vide, network etc) you dont notice till later, and then it really starts getting annoying, and slightly painful to boot.
