As usual, when shown to be wrong you point in a different direction.
Without the case, lethal voltages are exposed in the SB-200. If the
operator is careful, it is not a problem. If the operator is sloppy,
the operator will wear a pine case ...
I can certainly see a spare pen/pencil falling into the (open) power
supply area of a SB-220 and an operator absentmindedly reaching for it
at 4 AM local the second night of a contest.

Nothing, if the station is properly designed.
