I read on some website that the capacitors in a PC's PSU can hold a
charge for long after they have been switched off and that the
charge could be fatal.

Is this really so? Surely that is exaggerating?
No they are serious, I had the Unfortunate experience not too long ago of
puncturing one on accident. Nasty little shock, let me tell ya. Some nice
electrical burns as well.
