Hi,
I am going to be doing my first PC build in a few days (eagerly awaiting PSU). While going through tutorials online, people have been warning a lot about static discharge, damaging the components. I have read about anti-static wrist bands, but problem is they are not easily available in my case.
Also the suggestion for touching the pc cabinet is also futile as my cabinet surface is polished with some non conduction material (both inside and outside)
Here are details of my future workspace, kindly suggest something from it :
1. A wooden bed (non-polished and rough raw surface) - i read online that moisture i good to avoid ESD, so can i think about sprinkling some water on the bed before working on it
2. I have a water cooler, which can keep my surrounding humid during the build.
3. My house has marble flooring
So is there anything i can make up with the above available options. Also if i create a metallic platform of some type, how can ground it. I mean should i just connect some wire with it and put into my power supply. Also how can i be sure that the power mains ground is actually working and not just some bluff.
Any help in this regards will be greatly appreciated
Sincerely
