Do you need the ground prong for a computer cord?

The ground prong is connected to the computer chassis, including the outside of the power supply module. This is a safety feature to ensure that the metal case of the computer and power supply never becomes dangerously electrified in the event of a loose wire. Modifying the power cord not to have a ground prong would violate electrical codes intended to prevent accidental electrocution. That said, the ground prong is not essential for the normal operation of the computer, and the computer will still function without it. Proceed at your own risk.
