my pc cabinet is giving me electric shocks only the back panel is havng full current
i tested it with a tester and the light was on....that means either my smps is faulty or any other problem the wires are duly inserted in the parts....

thats the biggest reason for shocks.

I too had this type of problem. I used to get shock on my cabinet's back panel and monitor's screen.
The problem is due to erathing. So, check it and re-earth.
