can't just say that without showing where in the spec it say that mounting holes have to be ground -Lasse

No, you fucking retard! I 'just did' what you said I can't do. Live with it, asswipe.

Good grief, you're stupid, DimBulb. Read the question before you get your neuron twitching.

The AT design sped, AlwaysWrong? What's that? No, the ATX design spec does *not* cover these things. The FCC has their own ideas and even they don't care what you do with the screws.

Cite.

YOU should have already read his question, AlwaysWrong.

Now, AlwaysWrong, don't get your neuron in a tizzy.

It doesn't, but AlwaysWrong is, well, *always* wrong.

That's silly. If you can't look at a circuit and understand it, and decide how well it will work, and you need a simulator to do your thinking for you, then you are an amateur. I wouldn't Spice anything this simple.

I haven't seen a mounting hole that was plated-through, but any copper ring= s surrounding a hole was always (?) connected to ground. OTOH other copper= foil running right next to the hole isn't always ground, and I've measured= 5V and 3.3V on some; in one case the copper on the left side of the hole w= as connected to the 5V supply and the copper on the right went the 3.3V (FI= C brand PA-2007 or VA-503+ motherboard)
