MTPPC:

All your dc ground circuits should be tied together. Then tied to the ground planes in the cabinet. Then tied to the green wire on your power cord and plugged into the ground hole in your 110vac socket. This way, when you touch your game with static from walking across the carpet, all your ICs are protected. You'll also notice that your computer case is grounded through the ground post in your AC plug. Most electrical weirdness is caused by poor grounding.
