Anti Static Mat

[ribs1]

Hello,
I'm looking for an Anti-Static mat to put on my workbench. I build 2-3 computers a week and I think I may have zapped a motherboard a few weeks ago. Anyway an anti-static mat would probably be a good idea. I used to work in a shop that had a nice one that had a ground lead attachment to a wall plug. Also this thing had a little led that warned of any static build up. If you rubbed your feet on the carpet for a while and thouched the mat, the alarm would go off.

I can't remember who made it or where we got it

Anyway I'm looking for something similar thats 48" x 24"
Anybody have suggestions?
Thanks

I use one of these from Fry's. You could place two of them side by side to get closer to your required dimension. If you really need to minimize the ESD, you could go all out with some grounded footgear and whatnot. Also in clothing, mainly synthetic fiber creates charges. Just moving an arm in a polyester T can create a ton of static. Just a thought.
