The components inside the box may be charged with extremely high voltages, and may injure or kill you. If not, the box may be broken, and you will need to buy a new one. It is safe to open one, if it hasn't been connected to any power source for a while (>1 week), however, I still wouldn't recommend it.

What would have happened if computers didn't have magnets?
If magnets and electromagnets were never invented, it is likely computers would not exist. The first computers required the magnetic properties of relays and/or vacuum tubes to function. Even modern computers rely on magnetics to spin fans, spin hard drives, CD/DVD drives, produce sound, provide power through the power supply, increase voltage through induction, rectify power flow, and read/write data to hard drives, floppy drives, and other magnetic media.

TRUE
Why do computers require their own internal Power Supply?
Computers require their own internal power supply because the power required to power most newer computers, especially with high-end graphics cards, would require a bulky power supply which wouldn't be ideal in transporting computers or aesthetically. Also, with all of the other internal parts of a computer, some type of power interface would be necessary within the PC anyway, so why not just bundle it all together?
What 2 components should never be opened as they retain large amounts of current?
-Power Supply Unit. -Monitor.
When was the first Universal Power Supply Invented?
