My New System *Boring*

[Eyreel]

My (first home-built) system's in the post:

Case: Chieftec Dragon with 300w psu
Mobo: Asus P4P800E-Deluxe (800FSB)
CPU: P4 3.0EGhz (Prescott Core) (800FSB) (1mb Cache) Retail
Ram: 2x Twinmos 512mb PC3200 sticks
Graphics: AGP8x Nvidia GeForce 6600GT
OS: Win Xp Home

Im worrying about static, is there anything i can do without having to buy anything? apart from touching the inside of the case frequently?
Also worrying about starting up for the first time, i can fit the hardware but i dont know about formatting drives/bios....any help/advice/tips is very welcome and much appreciated.

just make sure you are grounded and you should by ok. I'm not sure what you wanted to know about the last question but all you have to do is start up make sure the bios settings are corret and install windows. It's quit easy I think. :bounce:

Thx...

Thanks, i was wondering if there's any other way to ground myself? apart from touching the case..

 

[isatippy]

I ground my self by touching the ground wire on an outlet or I just touch the schrew on the outlet. :bounce:

Hmmm..

Thankx for that, i think i'll ust touch the inside of my case as much as poss, and hope for the best.....
