Trying to get 24v from 2 ATX power supplies - call them A & B

I bound the yellows of A together, the blacks of A together, the yellows of B together, the blacks of B together.

I get 12v across the black & yellow of A & B separately,. but ALSO from yellow of A to black of B & vice versa. The cases aren't touching. They ARE plugged into a common 3 prong wall outlet

Because they have a common ground, right?

So I opened 1 of them. there was a wire from ground connector to case. Cut that off. There were caps from ground to hot and another from ground to neutral. Cut them out.

Still have 12 v between the 2 power supplies.

Any advice?
 
They are in series.
