It's recently come to my attention (due to weird PSU noises, annoying click noises when using the mouse, and small electric shocks) that something I might be doing wrong is not isolating my PC properly. To me it's always been put $H!t in and it's gold! But aparently, isolating and using certain tricks helps the longevity of your PC and the performance (with more stable power, you don't force your pc too much) Problem is... I've heard people talking about this in the net, but I have no clue how to properly isolate my MOBO, make sure electric discharge has a ground to go to... I know these things are true, I just don't know how to apply them. Like how do you ground your pc... and how do you isolate your motherboard... and how do you stop getting shocked by your pc..!!! haha
well, if anyone has a tutorial or an indication to a site as to where I can understand how to do this stuff, like a tutorial or something... it'd be highly aprecciated... thanks

Well to reduce shocks you could touch non-painted metal and it will release the electric charge before you get o your pc...
