Hello guys, I have never built a pc before and I am very paranoid about not breaking my expensive components which I had to work very hard to be able to afford. I bought myself an antistatic wristband, but my case is fully painted, I have no radiators near by etc. I was wondering if I plugged this desk lamp http:// into my wall socket and turned it off by the switch on the lamp while leaving the mains switch on and attached the crocodile clip to the metal parts on the lamp would I be grounded and would it prevent static electricity.
Thanks in advance for any help, quick response would be great :)
 
Solution
Insert your PSU into you case put 3 screw fully screwed in and leave 1 screw slightly out enough for the Croc Clip to grip it, plug it in and turn it on. This should be fine Its the way I did it and how the owner of a local parts shop recommended me to do it
