    take one long length of wire (speaker wire from an old car stereo in my case)

    Strip both ends, and attach metal clip to one end of it (bull dog clip, crocodile clip etc)

    Clip the clippy end to radiator pipe or other earthed thingy (I just scratch the paint off the top of the radiator in the room the PC's are in) and push the other end of the wire, that you stripped bare, under your watch strap.

    Job done...and if you ever walked off and forgot the wire just pops out from under your watch strap.

    I always wear one when dealing with CPU's, ram and video cards. It was free after all...it's just a bit of wire!
