You really don't have to worry about it, to an extent. Just whenever you open your computer up, just touch the unpainted metal (like The_Other_One) said. Just give it an occasional tab as your assembling the computer.

Why are you supposed to keep the power cord plugged in? I always un-plugged it to keep from getting shocked...

Well, nothing was damaged, but my dad just like 'f this' and scrapped the old computer. Nothing gained, nothing really lost. I just kind of learned my lesson and I have no problems taking apart and putting back together a computer now.
Just make sure you don't touch what you're not supposed to touch, like exposed hardware, aka an exposed HDD. Also, careful when you unplug stuff so that you don't take out the socket as well because it's nearly impossible to put it back in for some sockets since the connects maybe flimsy, aka SATA sockets.

That's kind of funny since I've build enough cases without ever having the ac cord plugged in. That includes swapping hard drives, memory, video and sound cards, cpus, supplies, and even moving into another case. Just don't plan on opening up crt monitors and power supplies anytime soon. Crts can shatter when hot and both have caps that store..... zzzzz.. zzzz... zzzzzzap! uoorgh...
