    First of all I will say that I didn't know whether(sp?) to put this post in the cooling section or here so I put it here. I got an old computer and I am scrapping it for parts that I will use on a computer I am building myself. I want to remove the power supply fan and use it in the new box. My question is, how do I ground the capacitors so I do not get *bzz*electrocuted*bzz* :(

    I'd suggest just buying a new fan as they can be very cheap if you look around! you don't wana mess around with the power supply if you don't know what you are doing!

    Here's the thing: the power supply fan once pulled out will have to be fitted with a Molex connector to work. Unless you've got a very odd power supply, the fan(s) are wired directly to the unit itself. To be quite honest, while it's not incredibly hard, I do find it kinda worthless to do.
