Well I have heard many a tale about static and its evil effects on computer components so want some steering on setting up my new pc.

I have just ordered and have had arrive all new parts for a new machine.
I want to go ahead and start configuring but the biggest surface area available for building this is a carpetted floor.

I was just wondering am I right in thinking that as long as I wear my mighty anti-static wrist band and clip it to the empty case whilst im fitting parts that I should be alright?

Any advice as always is welcome.

Cheers
Nick

so whats the process for fitting a pc.

Do you fit the PSU to the case. Then with nothing else connected inside the pc, I plug the psu lead from wall to pc, and then attach the anti-static strap to the case and continue installing.

Dont know if im being daft or not, but I cant seem to find any posts on how to build a machine from scratch.
Has anybody got any posts they can recommend????
