Interesting... Thanks.

I think connecting the earth wire to the motherboard aint a great idea, while watching TV on my pc, i can hear static, im going to try moving the earth wire somewhere else.

sorry, how do you earth it again? do you just need to connect it to one of the panels or something? :blink:

Anything metal really, but not the motherboard mounting holes because it's caused static noise when i was watching TV on my PC.

Im not sure but i heard the IDE cable has a earth wire??

motherboard mounting holes are no good as they have a littlte alu ring, just stick it to (steel) of case!

The PSU has a earth wire, just get some of those joining blocks...

The earth wire usually is screwed to the case of the PSU, if you can also find another wire that will handle the static, join it to the PSU ground wire and connect it to where you want...

A true enthusiast. I have the same sentiment. Why bother spending heaps of time making it look nice, I would rather be fragging or trying to squeeze some more FPS out of my rig through better cooler, etc.

Hey neo, is you motherboard tray removeable? Just wondering if you did that cutting inside the case... would be quite tricky, no?

Old Cheiftech case motherboard is not removable, it's a rock solid hard steel case so it didn't bend while drilling. :lol:

thanks, will check it, but does it really need an earth connection? Thought the adapter already took care of that? is it for redundancy?
