I know that this is videosift, and not some PC hardware forum, but it is the only real forum i am a member of. So here is my problem, my usb - mini usb cord, which i left plugged into the front of my new PC actually shocked me! not a bad shock, but equivalent or slightly more shocking then a 9v battery to the tongue, but this was my arm!

Being the fool i am, i tested again, wondering if the pins inside are fudged, but upon touching only the outermost shell of the mini usb cord to my arm, the same thing occurred.

So to all the video sift hardware wizes, is this normal, or is something seriously wrong with my new PC? I know that usb carries something like 5v, but on the outermost shell????
