Computer Case 300R Static Protection

NarbiusTheGreat · Aug 16, 2014

There was another post about this, but sadly it didn't answer a question I had. The case itself is all painted black, but most of it is steel. I have fans around the case that use metal screws that are not painted. Would those be ok to use to protect against static? There are also metal connector "pins" on the inside of the case near the edges. Can I also use those? Some people say that touching painted parts doesn't work, and others say it does? It really confuses me. It would be great to know what is safe to touch and what isn't. Thanks!

just plug the psu(the 3rd pin on your plug grounds you) inside the case and touch the case it will work. Also if no parts touch the case thiers no risk for static.

Well I did that at the start, but I got worried. I wanted to make sure. I don't have the PSU yet, and just touching the case without the PSU will work too? I know I am too paranoid, but this is my first build, and it was pretty expensive. Will the metal connectors in the case work even better too? Thanks!

if your really worried you could buy a anti static mat or wrist band.
