Waay too boring following the safety police rules. Playing with HV can be fun, just build fly swatter-level inverters instead of using a transformer/capacitors big enough to kill you. A CCFL inverter from an LCD screen is a good start,

As someone who rebuilt a couple dozens PCs for a charity from dumpster parts, boards in plastic bags while wearing mostly synthetic clothes, I'd say you underestimate the ruggedness of those things. Drivers and OS are much more likely
