My buddy's motherboard got zapped because he skipped the wrist strap
He was putting together a new gaming PC on his carpet and thought static was no big deal. One tiny shock killed the CPU socket right away. I tell all my clients to ground themselves before touching parts. A simple strap costs less than a new board.

Totally! I do the same thing as @skyler_hill and just tap the case. My old board had a close call once and I never skipped it again.

Why not just ground yourself before you touch it?
