ok, not sure how this work...first time building a computer. i've heard people say they've friend their computers by not wearing this wristband. do i HAVE to buy it, or is there some way around it?
ok...one other thing...what surfaces are good to work on? i have a wood table...would that be ok? the table is on laminent(sp?) flooring. or i could do it on plain wood floor...which would be the best option?
Only time you need a wrist band is when you work on a live electral system..
Like our phone system. The system runs 24/7, we have to pull cards everyone once in a while. While the unit is on we wear a wrist band because the electical current can cause static..
But if you have your system off and unplugged follow the instructions above.
