Is it really important to wear a static strap when working on a computer?
Jeremy2112
It is a very good practice to wear a properly grounded static strap when working on a PC. Static discharge can be very damaging to computer components.
It's a good idea to be certain that the PC case is also grounded while working.
I have worked on and built multiple computers and never worn a static strap or worked on a anti-static mat. I do prefer to touch something metal to see if it shocks me just to be safe. I have never damaged anything from this, but I do know that It can happen.
