Surgical gloves and balloons are both made out of rubber. Remember rubbing a
balloon on your head to build up static electricity and then sticking the
balloon on the ceiling? Well those surgical gloves can build up a static
charge just as easily so I would say forget the gloves. You're better off
using your bare hands. If you're really concerned about static damaging your
computer components then I suggest you buy a grounding strap, especially if you
live in a dry climate. I personally didn't use one but I happen to live where
the air doesn't get too dry. I was also careful not to touch any of the
electrical contacts.

I usually get clothed as soon as I'm out of the bed. So when I'm building
new configurations or updating older ones, I'm already wearing
trousers, a shirt and a pull-over if the weather is cold. I also use to wear
slippers when at home. Should I operate on a computer outside home, I'll
wear leather shoes. I don't like sport's ones. Again, depending on the
weather conditions, I may have a coat.


Does this help you ?

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 spritz a fabric-softener solution on the (carpeted) floor of my
workshop. Reduced chances of static, plus it smells nice.

FWIW, FYI, I built a PC today wearing tight (cotton) jeans and a
(cotton) bra (it was hot). :)

High heels, a g-string, and a sombrero. Don't ask, just do.

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

That's not necessary. All he needs to make me a happy man is a web cam.

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