No doubt I wouldn't know your machines directly.  But having a
conductive object completely loose inside the casing is a very bad
thing.

Even if the design is such that the motherboard is in a tower with no
electronic parts at the bottom of the casing, there's still the chance
that the box could be picked up, tipped, and a loose object lodge
somewhere where there is circuitry.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
