Re: Solving static electricity problems by grounding the frame

Er, your computer case IS connected to the negative terminal of the DC power supply, through the brass stand-offs of the motherboard. The power supply itself is the only one routed directly to the 3rd pin AC Common.

And yes, grounding your wood frame would have minimal advantages...
