 |
|
| I intend to build my new PC tomorrow and I'm a little worried about static. What precautions should I take so I don't fry my CPU? |

| If you're really that concerned, get a grounding wrist strap. Realistically, don't build your rig on the carpet (is there even carpet in Korea? haven't seen any yet...) and touch the edge of the case before you grab any of the components to ground yourself. |

^^Good advice^^ That should be all you need to do. Handle all of your components by their edges.
Also, the new Intel CPU's are ridiculously easy to install now. 
Have fun. I had a ball building mine. |

| It's a wee bit off topic, but don't use any magnetic screwdrivers either. |
