Im wonering if an electrical outlet withought power could be rigged up.....so you would have a tradtional wall outlite that is grounded but not connection to power at all. So you could plug your PC into it and be sure that no power could get through but yet it is grounded. I would think that this could be done and would probably be a good idea for a PC shop or for somebody who works on PC's a lot. I usually do what Shelly recomends and just keep the PC plugged into a surge protector but turn the thing off, but I sometimes get a bit nervous that the thing will fail to disconnect propery and I get the bajeeesus shocked out of me. Straps are something I have never tried either, I just keep in contact with the case.
