While unplugged, I intend on clipping an anti-static wristband to the case of my PC and poking around it to see what I can upgrade, but that's a different story. I would like to know the precautions I take before doing so. Right now my computer is on and being used to type, as read here. As far as I know, all you need to do is...
1. Unplug computer
2. Remove side panel
3. Attach anti-static wristband
4. Done
Is it really that simple? I don't know a ton about electricity, but logically the PSU should still be holding some power in it, even after being unplugged. Is there a way to completely drain the power from my computer before opening it? My motherboard does not seem to have any lights on it that indicate if it's being powered or not.
