MAKE SURE TO GROUND YOUR SELF!!!!!!.

The best way if with those grounding gloves, but you prabally dont have them, so TOUCH THE BACK OF THE CASE TO DISCHARGE YOURSELF AT THE BEGGINING, the metal part, and I would so it every so often just to make sure.

Yeh, satic is a killer, bloomin electrons!!!! Anyway, yeh, make sure you have your buuild order in your head, like whats goin in the case first etc... You cant just jump in headfirstbecause then you get stuck halfway through, i prefer to install the CPU and heatsink on the mobo, out of the case and thenput the mobo + CPU combo in there first. Screw that in then put in your drives etc... Its up to you how you do it, personal preference.
