Is it a bad idea to wear Crocs while building a comp?

your computer will refuse to boot up.

(just kidding).

no, I don't think so.

Nope. No need unless you're doing something real special.

Computers don't have a fashion sense, thankfully, and neither do I.

The only thing I like wearing to luxury locales more than Crocs are sweatpants.

Nope.

I wash and dry my hands prior and only hold components by their edges.

Never had an issue with anything.

If I'm doing something bigger like taking apart or putting a system together, yes.

If its something smaller, not as much, but I try to make sure I'm touching the case.

I never paid much attention to this stuff while putting mine together (I've built two)

I realized this was stupid after reading about it later... What exactly does static do to your parts? Any way to tell if you screwed up?

I just make sure to touch the chassis before I start touching boards.

I know of their existence, but never seen one in real life.

Real men don't use that. I do my builds with a six pack of beers by my side, cigarettes and some manly music (no, Metallica is not manly music)

I've built 3 pc's. Never used one. What I do use is either the case or PSU to discharge myself.
