When 120V AC is converted to DC you may have 170V DC in the system. So, YES, look out! This Power may hang around in the capacitors. When these things are working they normally will drain the power off the caps. Dont expect this to happen. Dont ever touch the back of a board, wear rubber gloves, and use a meter to look for power at the caps.
What kind of dangers are you looking at when ripping one of these apart? I'm looking at the inside of one right now I'm just wondering about residual power. I know that when it comes to a device that's meant to house alot of power, there's usually enough residual power stocked up somewhere left behind to kill a guy. Microwaves would be a good example of this, lol.
