Someone with electrical experience help me figure this one out. I know as much about electricity as your average 8 year old who's just stuck a bobbi pin into an outlet.
I touched the back of the computer I just put together and got an electric tingle. I figured I had really messed up on the internal wiring and pinched a wire or the power supply was shorting out; something along those lines.
I killed all the power and put it up on the workbench. I then started hooking up the phone line to my second comp. to hit the forums for advice. I didn't even have the power cord hooked to it yet and got a tingle from the second comp. when I touched the back! The only attachments to it were the lans, the modem and the monitor. The monitor was plugged in at the time.
Now where could the juice be coming from? Through the lans? Phone line somehow crossed up with an electric circuit in the house? No grounding on the outlet?
The lans and the monitor are both hooked up to a battery backup. The second comp. is too but was sitting there unplugged when it gave me a tingle.
Any ideas what to investigate?
