mantonr Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 i'm not sure you have to earth anything as such. If your in the UK then the top pin on the plug that provides ur PSU with power is the earth for the PSU and because everything else has an individual earthing wire to the PSU everything is earthed through that. So just plug it in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravix Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 I don't think grounding/earthing is necesarry with ATX power supplies. They have plently of ground wires in the ATX plug. I know I've run a few mobos in cardboard boxes, and I've always been fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
