Hi guys,
I just started building my first PC a couple weeks ago, and I'm in a little bit of a worry stage as of now. I put some of it together, and then looked around on the internet for how to hook up IDE drives, floppy drives, etc. When I came across something about "grounding" yourself before working on parts. I did no such thing. I worked in a few places, I worked on a table, with linoleum flooring, I stood on the carpet holding the motherboard, also, I layed the case on my bed, with the parts in it (none of them actually touching the bed) and worked on it. Just wondering if there is a high chance that I could have damaged something in the process. Thanks
