I built mine on carpet, static electricity frying components is a myth

I've built a few rigs, done lots of changes and never taken any electrostatic precautions, never had to RMA a thing.GCFC wrote:

that depends on the carpet... wool is NO NO but some other materials hardly have issues with static electricity...

It's not a myth, the chance of frying something is just very low. If you're dealing with a $300 GPU that you can RMA the risk is acceptable. If you're dealing with a multi billion space probe you need to take more precautions.
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

Can't remember, but it's a name the makers of meet the parents would have been proud of. I loled.
If you use common sence its very unlikely you zap the tech to death... there is always risk of that but it just isn't like 'OOOoo its gonna die if u build it over carpet etc.'

Unless using MSI components...
I always build / upgrade on wooden surface, just being overly cautious.
I'm not to the extend of using a static wrist band though.

Oh and on the topic of static: It's one of those things where you build a million PCs taking no precautions what-so-ever and have no problems, then on the million-and-one'th you fry everything, or you can it can happen on the first one you build.
The problem with static is it's a silent killer - you never now when it will or won't strike.
That's why I take the 30seconds effort it requires to protect my hardware with a wrist-strap whenever I go anywhere near anything even remotely 'inside' my PC.
