>  Yes you are quire correct, motherboards do like to 'sit 'at the same electrical potential as the metalic casing of the power supply and the computer chassis. Deprive them of that and chances are that they start complaining in one form or another .

mounted directly against the case, with the underside of the board 
touching the case.
