And be sure to call the local media to see if they want to do a story
on somebody building a computer! ;-)

For safe building I would say wear a condom. But make sure it is
properly ground.

I do not advise wearing gloves. But, 100% cotton clothing and a
light spray of water on the clothing to reduce the possibility of
static charges. An anti-static wrist strap is good to wear too--I
like the kind with a light coil cord.

I work barehanded with one arm resting on bare steel of case.

Power is OFF, with an AT case cable is left plugged into wall. With an ATX
case, power cable is removed from wall socket.

I avoid touching any conducting parts of motherboard or pc cards.
