First it ties the ground shielding from the ports to the grounding plane of the case itself so that static discharge is dissipated there rather than the motherboard. Second it completes the RF shield created by the case, this was way more important in earlier in computing and is also required to comply with that FCC rule about not interfering with other devices that you see printed on the bottom of things still sometimes. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Mnem667@retrofed.com 6 points 1 month ago (1 child) So..

Although that might be intentional in this case since some people like the breeze in their nethers. permalink fedilink source parent
