actually, yea you need to ground yourself if youre handling a computer part...
but if youre just working inside the case, you dont. the case is grounded... thats why they put the parts in it, and the psu is grounded as well. its completely surrounded in metal and thats what grounds it.

i did this the other day. i went out side and took my air compressor and made it up to like....30 psi and then took the blowing thing and it took all the dust and dirt off. the thing looked like a brand new computer and i didnt have to wipe anything ... im just going to go outside every once in a month and just spray it down with air just to keep dust and hair out of the fans and out of every where else.

As for "chassis", he means the edge of the metal frame of the inside of your case. Try grabbing its edges with both hands before you touch each computer part just to be safe.

It's basically like an aerosol can which you spray air freshener with, but instead it is an air propellant. Basically compressed air in a can. Just remember not to turn it upside-down, it doesn't use aerosol as its propellant, it is a VERY cold liquid that vaporizes into gas when sprayed normally but when turned upside-down, you can give yourself frostbite in about 2 seconds.
