Desktop Power Supply Outside of the case?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I don't think there's too big a risk of that unless you were to touch the motherboard right after generating a lot of static electricity. (The power/reset buttons could easily be mounted on a part of the closet away from the parts.)
...unless static electricity can spontaneously travel through the air without a true cause. (I would imagine that putting such a... closet PC on an uncarpeted floor would help too.)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Any friend that would do that is not a friend at all =p
Friends don't let friends use ESD!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Then don't do that with your main computer. What kind of moron would mount something that expensive and fragile on a wall for all to touch? Really. It's common fucking sense.
