When I built a PC for the first time (it was my second ever x86 PC, having bought the first already assembled) I had one and I used it, now I'm more careless, I just take care to not wear any wool or synthetic clothes, I first assemble the PSU if it isn't already done, I keep it plugged so that it's grounded, and I touch often metallic parts of the case.

PS And I keep away my cats, particularly the black ones, that for some reasons buid up the most powerful electrostatic charges, and even if they didn't, they'd try anyway to steal screws, nuts and bolts).
