Might want to check your power supply, might have a grounding issue. Did you use a converter (three prong switched to two prongs)? If not you might want to make sure that everything in your case(mobo etc.) is sitting the way it should be.

Cases are grounded via the power supply, if it is not then the static build up will shock you. Same thing happens when you get out of a car, if your prone to static you should know about it.

Its probably the carpet.

I think its a grounding issue. check MBD and PSU like suggested. The MBD can, if not properly seated, ground itself to the case.
