Here is a post from another forum. Wondering if you guys have any input:Ok, I'll use the strap connected to the chassis (but not plugged in), I'll use anti-static carpet spray, I'll touch the pc case before I touch a component, and my work space will be a wooden table. How do these steps sound as a reasonable amount of prevention?
A couple more questions though:
-is the wooden table a good idea?
-what is a good material to set my case on while assembling the pc, I don't want to scratch the table?
-is it safe to set the components on the wooden table or do I have to go directly from bag to pc or pc frame as one suggested?
-when touching the pc case to discharg myself do I have to remain touching it like one said about leaving your forearm on the case, or can I just touch it and then proceed working since I'll have the strap on?
-I didn't have my pc frame handy and I wanted to check out my new video card so touched and then attached my wrist strap to a nearby utility knife, do you think this protected the component?
Thanks
