Oh right, other thing. I took out the PCI cards from the case one by one, starting with the video card.
After that, I noticed that each card seemed to have a bright red dot on the mounting screw flange. "Huh," I thought, "maybe the guy who serviced it marked them off to identify their order or something." Only: no one but me ever puts hands into the case.
Then I noticed the bright red smear down the anti-static film I was putting the cards down on. Then I noticed the bright red thumbprint on the top rear corner of each card, where I grabbed them to pull. Then I noticed the bright red drop in the center of my palm.
Moral: The fin edges on the video card's aluminum heatsink are sharp enough to draw blood. Lots of blood.

Pay attention when something hurts
okay bed NOW
