I'm gonna build my first computer as soon as the parts get here hopefully next week and I just need to know what to do about static
I'll be building on a wooden table (varnished, if that makes any difference) on a vinyl floor with my dog outside. Me being me I know nothing about electricity so basically how do I ground myself.
I didn't order a wrist band with my parts and I'd really love to not go to the hassle of ordering one. In Launceston we only have a couple of computer stores with just sell useless junk and of course no anti static wrist straps (I'd love to make a computer store here but I'm only 14 )
Will just touching a metal part of the case every so often be enough? Do I buy a $10 wrist strap and pay an extra $20 for delivery?
yay for living in Tasmania I suppose, the deserts in Australia would be more advanced than this state.
