Recenty, for chritmas that is, I got a fully plegy glass computer case. at first i was kind of exited, for i love clear sided cases and such, being able to see my computer without having to take it apart. recently though, i realized there might be a significant flaw. since the case is made out of plexy glass, ill have no grounding to the individual parts, the only grounding ill have is from the PSU to the MOBO. I was thinking, maybe (most definitely) there is a ground in the MOBO power cable, grounding the MOBO to the PSU, and all of the other parts should be grounded also becuase theyre all connected to the MOBO so i should have no problems. Am I wrong at all? If so, what the h*** was this case manufacturer thinking in making a case with no source for grounding!?
 
There has to be a ground in the circuit anyway or electrically it wouldn't work. If the case however ends up grounding your PC will stop working anyway because plexiglass insulates very well. Why do you think plug sockets are plastic?

Don't be so hard on him, I can see where he would get that idea.

All of the components are either connected to the motherboard or to the PSU directly, which all have ground. The PSU is then connected to the ground in the buildings electrical wiring, so you're fine.
 
Well, my point being, is I probably shouldn't work on it until i get my PSU then. or do i have nothing to worry about there?
