Pete:
There are computers and then there are computers. I think the best thing to
do is to take a look at yours to see where the metal is, and whether or not
you can make an attachment to a screw that goes into the metal chassis. Or,
you could just drill your own hole and attach to that.
Ideally, you would like to check to see that the A/C ground wire is actually
contacting the chassis ground of the computer. Depending on what you find
you might need to add a jumper in there someplace to get it all bonded
properly.

Subject: [RFI] Bonding to a PC
I want to try to manage RFI in my shack, among other things, by bonding
all chassis together, including my shack computer, but the question has
come up - where can I find chassis ground on a PC without serial or
parallel ports? Is there a design standard, such as connecting the
power supply chassis to ground buses on the motherboard, that makes this
easy or does it have to be figured out PC by PC?
