I have this extra psu 300-400 watts i got from a garage sale a while back for no specific reason. I am wondering if i can plug it in with my anti static wrist strap attached to one of the mounting brackets on it to remain grounded while doing work inside my pc.
I think this would work except i am worried about the the fact i have no idea what its history is and if it were a bad psu could grounding myself to it somhow be dangerous. (has no on/off switch)
Also the both the Psu and the computer case i will be working in is coated in black paint, hence the 2nd psu because its exposed metal. Sadly i have no wooden areas to be working on so i will be standing on lanolium and working on a glass table.
Edit: i found an old 700W that fried a while back with a switch, i think the ground would still work fine because it dident pop or fix untill it was powered on via the old computer.
Thx for the help!
