It is grounded, your case is grounded to the PSU via the mounting screws, and your PSU is grounded via it's third prong.

I think he is referring to individuals whose "case" consists of a plastic milk crate.

Gounding is always needed but it is all done with the wires

 Grounding is not needed for modern up to date hardware.

Yeah, modern PSUs are pretty good at grounding-out the entire rig. Can't say they were always like that. Never liked the smell of popped-silicon.

I don't see why the entire unit would need to be grounded. No one is rubbing a balloon on their hair and then manhandling their computer. At least, I hope not.

I noticed most pictures out there of rigs show the hardware is not grounded.

Are modern PSUs that much safer?
