Hi Mike, If I understand well the computer power supply has a IEC 730 power supply input and the mounting in a computer frame would not alter the way the supply is connected to the mains. (plug-in directly in the supply through a enclosure hole). Then the computer does not need HiPot testing unless you do not have 101 % confidence in the power supply manufacturer, and are ready to bear responsibility for your power supply manuf. mistakes....
Worded differently: You are legal responsible for any safety failure with your product. In case of an accident , it's your boss to sue the supply manufacturer... and to recover any damage done to your companies name and reputation.
