hi, when you are putting a computer together what do you need to do to insure the components will not be damaged? i no you need to were an anti-static band, but is there any surfaces that your components shouldnt touch etc. |

Either assemble your PC on a table or use newspaper over the work area if working from the floor, as nylon-based carpet has a tendency to generate static electricity. The components will come packaged in static-shielded plastic bags which can also be used for placing the bits and pieces on whilst waiting for installation. Try to keep your fingers only on the edges of the cards or the mobo to prevent any damage to them. |

A good practice is also to ensure that your components don't touch or placed on other non static dischrged items or surfaces.
A useful way to attach the anti-static band is to connect it to the computer case you're working on, with the case power cord plugged in to the wall socket, but switched OFF at the wall. |
