I have an old (under statement) PSU that I'm not using and am wanting to turn it into a cooler for my Xbox 360. Not the PSU itself but I want to use it to power old computer fans I have laying around and I was wondering if this is possible/safe. Does the PSU need to be grounded to another metal object like say a computer case, or is because its a sealed unit okay to just use as is. I see people using there PSU's with out grounding when they are testing mobo's and other components but I am not sure how smart this really is.
This is just a summer project that I may or may not do but I would rather be sure its even possible before I go burn the house down. This may be the wrong place to ask because as smart as some of you guys are I'm sure you don't have an Electrical Engendering degree and you may not fully understand the complexities of the PSU itself.
