This is not a question about specs, but rather about the precautions to take, and what surface you should build your pc.

Whats the most important thing to do to not fry your mobo when building from scratch??

thanks

Static is evil. Keep yourself grounded relative to the system (you may want to buy a conductive wrist strap or even a full work pad/conductive wrist strap combo.

If all else fails, follow the instructions. :wink:

I almost always work on carpet. But the best place is a giant dryer while you have a sweater on.

Yeah, thats also almost as funny as screwing your parts in with a Magnetic Screwdriver! Not.

Any hard surface would do most likely. Kitchen table is a good one to use like amddiesel said. A workshop bench works as well too. Just anything with a hard surface and obviously NOT carpet.

Good luck :)

plug the PSU in and touch it or the case to ground out. Done.

I build computers EVERY SINGLE DAY, ON CARPET(Edit: with my feet on carpet, not the computer).. never had a problem. Just make it a habit to always approach the computer and touch the chasis before u touch the components.

You might get a quick jolt of shock both to you and you're hardware.

I have an anti-static table pad that works great. I don't like working directly on a wood or formica surface. A cotton towel works well too.
