ATX class computers are supposed to be unplugged when you work on
them, because of the +5 VDC power supply. Find another ground, or make a
cord using only the ground pin to plug into an outlet on your
workbench. My workbenches all have metal outlet boxes and covers, so
it's always easy to find a proper ground.

Switch the socket or PSU off (providing it has a physical switch on it, not too many do anymore)? Or does the US not have switched mains outlets?
