Preparation

[legacy-Unreal.Pain]

What do I need in order to make my computer. What I mean is what things do I need so I dont damage any parts like anti static straps or something. Or like advice like something having to do with static electricity that will damage something. Also safety equipment.

Also where can I buy these items like Compusa or just send me a link.

http://www.newegg.com/ (LMFAO COMPUSA!!! You do realize that they sell you things for $100 more than the suggested retail price)

Well, I thought the thread was more about what preparation and safety items the guy should purchase. U.P, you don't actually need any anti-static equipment just as long as you follow a few simple rules.

Computer Build Preparation

Be careful of the last rule, unless you are legally old enough to drink and can handle your alcohol.

Anyway, if you want an anti-stat wrist strap, you can pick them up at stores such as Radio Shack, or any other electronic hardware store or outlet.

If you require more info......................................GOOGLE

Anti-static wrist straps are cheap, but it's just as effective to build barefoot on a wooden table (or floor) and make sure you're well grounded.

Before you start looking around, make sure they deliver in your area.
My friend forgot that once, and had his whole system set up...

Compusa. . . tsk tsk.

Use pricegrabber, just make sure the seller isn't a swindler, read the reviews; if there are numerous reports of "wrong item", "never delivered", or "malfunctional", then don't buy from that seller.
