Already found a 3 prong outlet anyway..hihi ! ;D |

Can't you just get one of those outlets that they use in bathrooms with the "test" and "reset" buttons on them? Won't those give you many of the benefits of a ground even if you don't have a ground wire running through the house? I forget what they're called, but outlets are EXTREMELY easy to install. If you can build an arcade cabinet installing a new outlet is easier than getting out of bed in the morning. |

Those outlets are called GFI )Ground fault interupt) outlets but I don't think they will work without a ground. Yarb |
