Yea, that reminds me that after the psone screen accident, my hand got in the way of a souldering iron that had been on about an hour. I still have some marks from that one.

Is it at risk if it's been sitting in the corner for over a year doing nothing? (I own two N64's by chance)

yes the risk is very great *scarcasm* do you think you will get electrocuted from anything that has NOT been plugged in for a long time? lol i do hope you were joking

yeah, anything that has huge capacitors

Althought the n64 doesn't have any huge ones

Exactly how long has this thing not been plugged in for? If it's anything less than 100 billion years it might still hold some miniscule amount of electricity. Maybe even enough to make one of your knukle hairs stand on end.
