Wdym? You can take apart a PSU somewhat easily
Taking a PSU apart is not something the average gamer can do safely.
If this is a brand name power supply, meaning conforming to electrical standards, then sure they can.
The big scary capacitors will be discharged by a bleeder resistor during the time it takes you to remove the screws.
There's a reason a lot of devices usually have a "don't open, risk of shock/death" label.
You're not dealing with a main breaker panel or something, the worst thing is probably the big smoothing capacitors which would be a hell of a shock, but unlikely to kill you.
Just take some basic safety steps, like discharging the capacitor and you'll be fine
You already lost the average gamer at "discharging the capacitor".
Reverse the polarity you say?
The average gamer must be willing to tank the shock to clean their equipment.
