Product: HP ENVY Desktop - 750-114

I'm changing to a new power supply in my HP Envy desktop and when i took the old unit out there are what look like two grounding wires attached to the top of the power supply, I've never seen that before and my new power supply does not have a place to attach these wires.

What are these wires? Can I connect them to the case instead of the power supply?

Can you provide a picture of the cables?

 

The following video of Envy 750 show that the wires on the power supply are actually the Wi-Fi antennas

If Wi-Fi just put them back where they were or possibly arrange a better distribution.  I suspect curling them up on the top is not as good as hanging them at different angles to get better pickup.

I think that just might be it. I thought them grounding wires, but your solution makes more sense. 

That's for your help.
