I'm not an electrical expert so don't take this as gospel, but I'm pretty sure that as long as your power supply is properly grounded, you'll be okay, since the ATX plug that goes from the power supply to the motherboard has ground pins, which should ground the motherboard itself.

Ditto. I've had my motherboard installed this way for months without any issues at all. I'm just using pcb standoffs to attach it to the inner side of my cabinet. I'm not using any additional ground wires. But if it makes you more comfortable, connect a wire from a grounding point on the motherboard to the power supply housing.

I think a short time out would be enough...
