Re: Using rubber gloves when working with components?
[ QUOTE ]
but I do touch the bare metal of the case each time before I touch anything else! This only helps if the powersupply <font color="red">IS</font> plugged into the wall providing a path to ground. [/ QUOTE ] This is the relevant part. I've read some articles say "Be sure to unplug your computer before working on it, then touch something metal on the case to discharge static"...

Re: Using rubber gloves when working with components?

If you are worried about being electrocuted (12v won't hurt you so you shouldn't be) you can always flip the switch on the PSU to the off position. It will remain grounded but there will be be no power supplied by the PSU.
