I felt a small tingling sensation from my PC case when my finger touched it, but it was basically unnoticeable when my whole hand touched it, so I unscrewed my wireless internet adapter and plugged in my ethernet cable and the electric current stopped, why would my adapter be causing this?
Note: My adapter was sitting on top of my PC case with the cord it had running along the side to the back.(Not sure if that matters though)

Electricity going through the case is really hard to tell, as anything in the computer transmits current. I guess the only thing you can do is try and not touch the case...

My PC has two different plugins for an adapter, I removed the ethernet cable and plugged the adapter into the next slot and it didn't run the current through, then went back to the original slot and it didn't run the current through. This concerns me now even more that it may be a different possibly bigger problem, any suggestions?
