Anti-static straps are used to prevent damage to electronic components when being handled by assemblers or engineers. They work by dissipating voltages to ground and prevent a build up of static voltage. They should not be used when high voltages may be present on the assembly or near the assembly as the grounding strap can cause excess current to pass through the operative.

Where high voltage devices need protection against static voltages, special grounding straps and grounding techniques can be used to provide protection to the circuit without becoming a hazard to the the operator.

What computer components should you not touch while wearing antistatic wrist strap?

I'm not aware of any component you cannot touch. As long as the power is off and you are grounded properly. You would have to touch any component part in order to replace or upgrade it. When using a Antistatic wrist strap you should always male sure it makes contact your skin properly, if the strap has a crocodile clip at the end make sure it is attached to a suitable grounding point. You can clip it to the PC chassis but make sure the power is off at the wall socket but the plug is left inserted, if you unplug the PC completely there is no grounding. Saying all this grounding yourself is a bit over rated. I rarely use a grounding wrist strap and have never had an incident.
