I assume you mean when taking a computer (such as a desktop PC or a laptop) apart? Say, to remove the hard disk drive?

The only real danger is from electric shock. Make sure the unit is completely disconnected from the mains supply in your house: just unplug it. If you're working on a laptop removing the battery is a probably a good idea too.

It's also a good idea to wear an earthing strap. This is a strap which goes around your wrist and is connected via an earthing mat to earth.

Once inside the box you're only really left with the dangers of sharp metal edges on the casing, expansion cards (such as PCI/AGP cards) or devices such as your hard disk drive, CD/DVD drive and what not.

If you want to get picky the small screws, jumpers, etc are a choking hazard!
