Thinking of getting a new computer

[Altiarch]

Scape off a bit of the paint on the inside of your case untill you see bare metal. Touch that every minute or so, and try not to move much. Do  it on a wood floor or on concrete, in a dry place. a basement would be good.

Just avoid carpet and you should be ok.

If you are going to ground youself, do it the proper way. If you are attaching yourself to the case, makesure the case is grounded too (this can be achieved by plugging the powersupply into the wall).

So, have you ordered the parts yet?

[Otis Da HousKat]

Make sure you ground yourself on clean metal surfaces, paint doesn't conduct electricity very well, and thus will not discharge any static.

Thanks for all your help guys. Even though I won't be able to get a new computer for about a year unless my dad lets me get one.

You could mow a forget-ton of lawns. He would have no right to control what you spend your hard-earned cash on. If you were to do this, I would recommend going for a slightly cheaper build; perhaps $600.

I live in the desert... no lawns here.
