This question is regarding personal computers and the necesity for the ground. I have been told that it is a necesity for the dissipation of electrostatic charges wich may build up from the spinning hard drive and the fan motor. I understand the standard need for a ground (safety), but the idea of electrostatic dissipation is new to me.
Can anyone shed some light on this topic for me? If it is not necessary for the ESD, why do the manufacturers print in their material "computer will not function properly without a proper ground connection."???
Thanks
