Lightbulb Don't
Don't touch the CPU when you are "electrified"...you can kill
the hard-drive. My son accidently did that at a job he had at
the University..and blew out the whole motherboard at work! (he was sooooo embarrassed!)

There are antistatic mats you can put your stuff on, that helps.
But no guarantees.
Also those mats that go under your chair, do help.
