Laptops are the only PC's I've seen that don't have an earth

their separate power supplies. Anything in a metal casing, without

double

insulated skins over the hot spots, needs an earth wire. It's da

rools, man.

It is da roolz, but they arent enforced or applied. Open up any metal
cased Japanese stereo, and 9 times out of 10 you'll find theyre single
inulsated and unearthed.

certain constraints as to clearance and creapage distances.
