Never in the last 15years have I used a wrist band and not once have I fried a component!

Ever had a component inexplicable die on you a while after your build and could reason why........

First PC I built is still going strong as a squid proxy at my parents house!

You've been lucky.. I touched a motherboard once and it sparked.. Killed it completely.. but as said, the effect of ESD is often long term.

Safely handling your PC components
