Where do i attach my anti static wrist strap?

to your wrist lol

also to any BARE metal part in the case...

Yup, make sure the cord is plugged into the PSU, and the plug from the power lead is plugged into the wall socket ,but is turned off at the wall socket switch, to give you a good ground.

attach wrist strap clip to the metal rim of the case while as weaselman said "make sure the cord is plugged into the PSU, and the plug from the power lead is plugged into the wall socket ,but is turned off at the wall socket switch, to give you a good ground."

okay thanks, but in my case everythings painted...?

also my radiators painted too...

Use a wrist strap if that is what you are most comfortable with, but I personally don't use a wrist strap. Just be super careful - touch another grounded surface periodically (if you have another computer nearby that will do); don't shuffle around in tube socks; if you have a humidifier, run it to increase the humidity in the room. If you have cats, then lock them in a bathroom or something, because otherwise they will get curious about what you are doing and walk all over your components.

also i've been told not to connect the powersupply and turn it off.

How do you think you are going to earth if that's not connected ? magic maybe ?

All the best Brett

Hi

Ground is always present Bret, how the hell do people think circuit breakers work!, if a large current is detected on the ground where it should not be present its the part that cuts the positve part of the circuit. Its always there even if the switch is turned off at a socket. I should know this as an ex electrician.

Hi  

I know lol, but someone told the OP to UNPLUG from the mains, in which case there is NO ground...

All the best Brett
