Add an IEC socket..any negative effects?

I am having mine done by an expert. However, If I were to do th ecutting, I think a Dremel, or some similar hand held cutting tool that is really easy to handle, would be good. As in most of my do it yourself projects, it sounds cheap and easy in theory, until you have to buy a piece of machinery to make a $0.05 cut. Snoogans.

John, in your first post, did you mean the green wire that comes with the IEC socket? I could understand not "grounding" a component that wasn't previously grounded. However, if you meant the green wire in the power cord itself, I'm a little confused. Since I'll be using an IEC, I will not be using a hard wired wire. Please clear up what you mean in both of your posts. It sounds like good advise, I just dont understand when you are talking about the wire within the component, or the wires as in the power cable

IF the component has a 2 prong plug now, why would I want to connect a ground wire if I decide to add an IEC INPUT to the chassis? I'm no electician, but what I suspect would be ok is to connect the positive and negative to the IEC INPUT, dont connect the ground connector of the IEC input to anything, and use a regular power cord (one that has ground plug). If there's nothing in the chassis connected to ground, the ground line inside the power cord isnt doing anything, bad or good, right?? It would be just the same as using a high end power cord that only has 2 conductors and a shield, right? (besides the fact that there arent any of these) I suppose that I COULD ask my technician to ground it, but the way I see it, WHY??? EXPERTS, PLEASE COMMENT.
