You shouldn't have a problem with it. That amount of static is not a problem for the outside. It's internal components that cannot handle any static. Just be careful when opening the machine for anything. Be static safe when you have the case open and try to work on it away from the carpet.

You might have a lot dust goes into your computer but you do not need to worry about static.

It is not good to have case off most of the time. You will have less effective cooling and more dust.
