I always hear about people building their own PC's. Is that what you did. But i don't really understand it. My brother i think kind of does it but i haven't really asked much. I know he must up one time and burned his memory or erased it or something because i think he was suppose to wear some type of glove. |
No glove; grounding strap.
Not really necessary if you can remember to discharge any static electricity on metal before handling electro static sensitive components. I never use one and have yet to ruin a component. I do however always use scrubbed clean hands while handing components. Don't touch contacts of components and don't provide power to anything until you are finished building and ready to boot up.
Also, better to work on concrete or hardwood, not carpet and don't wear rubber soled shoes if you do.
I don't know if you're actually planning on building yourself and what your level of technical savvy may be. You'll get a better spec computer for the same price if you do, but you won't have a working system if you can't figure it out properly.
