Hi all,
I built my HTPC out of legos. it's pretty cool, but to fit it all in my "case", I had to remove the steel casing of the psu. I wanted a small footprint.
as you know, there is a ground wire that screws into the metal casing. well, that is gone now, so what do I ground that wire to? when I try and power on, the fan spins a split second and then nothing. I tried connecting it to the back of where the power cord connects, the ground post. no dice, same results. tried soldering it to a motherbaord screw hole. same results.
not really sure what all to do here....I want this sucker operational so I can post some oooh and aahhh pics!
