Look for R-C and Al Sekela as the author here and in cables. Al's posted numerous times about how to do this. You want to do it correctly, as there's always some danger with AC.

I made several versions of these from Al's designs. They work well OUTSIDE the box. Could you do inside? I suppose so, but the intervening jack assembly them has an impact.

You can make these as simple parallel line filters and they're cumulative and don't have to be on your PC itself, you know. A cheap 2 prong plug and a cap and a resistor in series is what does it, properly constructed and properly covered to prevent shock.

YOu must use AC rated caps, though. X or X2 or Y. Read Al's posts on this first and make sure you understand or ask more questions.
