Booting up with mobo outside of case.

[BZeto]

I'm diagnosing a problem and I'm going to boot up the machine with the mobo on a peice of cardboard outside of the case.

Should I put one of those anti-static bags underneath it or anything? I want to be as safe as possible.

it should be fine just on the cardboard.. just make sure there isnt anything that can short it

it's fine on the cardboard, unless you have some kind of crazy, metal coated cardboard... I've booted many times on a piece of cardboard
