Paranoia.. again

[Armakar]

So, I can't wait to build my build... for the first time. As the whole world already knows, the last time I built a build I fried the mobo.

Today I felt like doing something while waiting for my delayed processor ( thanks amazon ) so I opened up all the boxes to ge he stickers and put them on the case ( as well as painting case fans )

 

I noticed on the motherboard  plastic bag sleeve it said " conductive plastic bag " or something... does this mean I can still fry the mobo even if I'm holding it IN the bag? It hasn't left the bag, the bag is still sealed. I also handled the graphics card out of the bag . When handling all the components I took out of the boxes, I made sure to be careful what I touched, however i'm wearing socks and I was sat on a carpet, so static is a possibility..

 

Will these components be fried?

Yes you are being over paranoid.

everything will be fine. Take your anti paranoia medication and build the dang computer. If you truly dont feel comfortable building the computer then have a friend do it.

You'll do just fine. :^) I believe in you, bucko.

 

Not that I recommend this but when I built my latest PC, I did most of it on my bed & carpet, while wearing socks - I think it's a bit hard to kill components, although my friend had once rubbed his RAM module a lot before putting it into his PC then the new PC didn't work for a solid 24 hours. As long as you don't rub your RAM, you're fine.
