When you actually build the computer...

When you're building the pc, is it bad to keep some parts in the case, while the whole pc is still incomplete? For instance: can I install everything except the dvd burner and hdd and wait a day, then install those, or will static damage the parts? Thanks!

Makes no difference.

So, you can leave evrything out and not be worried?

Yes you can leave it out, unless it's on carpet. If it's a card or a hard drive, you can put it inside or on top of an antistatic bag just in case.

 

[acegazda]

alright, thanks.

EDIT: I'll leave it on my desk.

I have a complete system that is just screwed on a 2 inch plank of wood, even the PSU and all components. Works great, have it hanging on my wall at home. I call it Art.
