IO shields are more or less built into the board these days

Now, case fans on the other hand, are surprisingly sharp

The heatsink on my goddamn CPU fan took a blood sacrifice in my last build. Razor sharp.

With a good mounting mechanism that's normally not a problem.

But between Intels classic plastic clips that never go in, and AMD's unbendable steel beam that never wants to clip It's pretty fucking dangerous for both you and the components.

Noctua's mounting system is pretty good. It's a little awkward aiming the screws into position but MUCH easier than almost any other system I've used.
