oh absolutely... all the components are nice and big and usually spaced far
apart. For someone just starting out it's by far the best place to start
(it's hard to screw up a chassis even for the worst solderer's (is that a

as long as you don't touch it with the power on it's highly improbable the
monitor will kill you... hurt like hell (I know... boy do I know), but
you're more likely to get injured smacking your hand into the wall as you
pull it back then from current flow...
