Help!!! New computer issues

uhm, what are you talking about?

using the static bag is perfectly fine, since it is designed to protect equipment that is touching it from esd. The whole point of the static bag is that it dissipates charge. If you don't believe me, go get yourself a static bag, and test conductivity between points on it. What you'll find is that as the probes get farther apart, the conductivity goes down. You'll also find that at the voltages which most motherboards use, there is almost no conductivity, or at least not enough to damage anything. The idea is to isolate the motherboard, like you're doing with the magazine, since it is already grounded through the ground wire in the atx connector.

If you want to be an idiot thats fine by me but you shouldnt be encouraging anyone else to do what you suggest.
I dont need you telling me how to test equipment, I've written manuals on it!
