I'm printing a little case for a ITX build that will use a PicoPSU.
As the base will be plastic there won't be a "chassis ground," and since the PicoPSU uses an external brick for AC/DC conversion I won't have an actual path to my mains ground - at least not a normal one through the tray like you'd see in a regular case.
The motherboard is the only device in this system. Would it be a good idea to try and ground one of the mounting holes on the mobo to the negative terminal on the barrel connector that the DC brick plugs into?
