So yeah, I recently noticed that if I hold the end of my iPod cord and touch me metal air conditioning vent by my desk I feel a very noticeable (but not unbearable) electrical current. I can also feel it when touching the metal on the back of the computer.

This can't be good! I've tried plugging it into three different plugs and I have changed the power strip it's connected to.

What do you guys think is causing this? Bad wiring in my house? (None of these plugs are the three pronged grounded variety) Something with my Mac?

This Mac has been hooked up in here for months, but I never noticed it because I just recently moved it next to the air vent.

What should I do? Ugh.

P.S. It's a Quicksilver 733, if that makes any difference. P.P.S. I just tried the same thing with the TV that's plugged into the same strip and I can't feel and current. P.P.P.S. I still feel it when the computer is off.

maybe you should get an electrician to look at that, if it is bad wiring in your house.

Three pins all the way to the wall is what you need. Since you don't have three pins in your power outlets you need to properly ground your mac.

You can try using one of these if you screw it into the wall, but really you should get some grounded outlets.
