1. Find a clean and static free work environment
This doesn't mean you have to wear a white space suit looking outfit in a spot free and clean environment like on Willy Wonka. It just means you should NOT be on carpet, and should wear shoes to prevent static electricity from building up. Another great way of protecting your new project would be to wear an anti-static wrist strap. This grounds you to the case of the computer which does a great job of dispersing any static electricity that may build up in the building process.
Some examples of this type of environment could be:
-
In the garage on the workbench
-
At the dining room table
-
On the kitchen counter
-
At your desk if it's not on carpet
After you've found a suitable environment,
Open and prepare the case (Step 2)
