Anti-Static: DOES YOU DO IT?

[GommeInc]

My dad used to love going on about using wristbands :S I just tap the sides, and I have mucked around with a computer plugged in and on, aswell as turned on when open (got bored and wanted to see what was making funny noises/chuck paper in the fan and watch it spin). It's an old PC so was just a muck around really Anything new or needing care I do it properly.

I haven't ever used anti-static stuff when I build my PC and I have carpet etc. Yesterday when I got my new HDD I just got it out the antistatic bag and plugged it in with the PC still on etc. I has never don't any harm to me or the components

Lol, I usually just stick any new component in, usually with it still plugged in and on And I like jamming the fan and it makes strange noises haha.

My Xecuter Connectivity Kit for flashing my 360 set on fire and set the DVD drive on fire with it (I plugged the DVD Power cable into it upside down...)

I've never used one when putting new stuff in or taking stuff or swapping around never once broke anything hopefully never will.
