dont walk around on the carpet too much, use a wrist wrap connected to your case, dont touch any components directly, always handle the edges, roll up your sleeves, pray to God.
A cold room with low humidity is the kiss of death so make sure you have good humidity and temperature.
Always keep components in a sealed anti-static bag except for the brief time when you actually install it.
Static may not blow your components completely, but if you dont take any precautions your likely to degrade them, causing poor performance and early failure.
