Is putting cold cathodes lights or fan controllers make the case has electricity around it? cause i know my comp never has electricity beforek, but after i bought fan controller, and some cold cathode lights, and now every timie I touch my comp, I can feel the electricity. so anyone help me out?

 
I hope English is your second language!

Could you make an effort to describe how you connected your devices?

You should not be getting shocked from your case. My first advise would be to unplug it and leave it unplugged until you can figure out what is wrong.

EDIT:
How embarassing! I complain about someones English and then drop the verb from my sentence! Dang fingers!

I Added an "is".
 
There is definately something wrong. There are a least two things wrong. The first thing wrong, is the computer case is not grounded. The second thing wrong can not be determined without more information.
 
There are really at least 3 things wrong, since this should be in a support forum (like General Hardware) rather than HT. 😛

If you don't know enough about electricity to figure out what's wrong, then you probably shouldn't be trying to wire things inside your case. That's my advice.
 
what u mean the case is not grounded? My case was never like this before. I didnt change anything to the case itself.
 
First, maybe you should take a class in english. They are available at all community colleges at decent prices. Look at http://www.utexas.edu/world/comcol/state/ for a list of community colleges by state, for the US.

Second. STOP using your computer right now and turn it OFF. If you are bent on keeping the hardware mods you made, find a different computer, and repost this in the Hardware support form. Do not use the computer again, until you have found the problem.

Lastly, get rid of the stupid lights or whatever other modification you did to the computer. A computer it a powerful tool and not a toy...and there IS enough power in the power supply in the computer to kill you if wired correctly (or incorrecly in this case). It is not worth dying over.

You are an @ss, granted the english is not perfect, or understandable, but leave the thread and don't post if it bothers you that much. This forum is not to spew out sh!t like this help or leave.

NOw this to me does sound like either the case is not grounded, and or something you installed has a short and is chargin the case. Try visually checking everything and taking individual componets out and checking with a voltmeter if there is in fact currnet running, if so it is most definately bad.
 
Your fan shouldn't be shocking you since it's running at low voltage (unless you jimmy-rigged a 120VAC fan). My money is on the cathode's high voltage inverter. Disconnect and remove the cold cathodes and their power supply and see if the problem goes away.
