Same here, as long as you are holding the case when dealing with the components you won't have an issue.I tend to be a badass and build on the carpet, but I make sure that no components which are easily damaged by static (motherboard, CPU, RAM, hard drives and graphics cards usually) touch the carpet.
Building on a wooden floor or table would be the best idea.
But generally speaking, hard surfaces are the best bet for working on and for standing on.
