Anti Static Wrist Strap's?

bingo.

Ive tried to kill things from static. Walked on carpets, rubbed against jumpers (uhh ermmm ), got as much static as i could, and touched things, and felt the "click" followed by abuse towards the components. And i STILL havnt killed them.

An old 233 i had, i was trying to kill by randomly connecting a 9v battery to anything that looked "important" on the motherboard. It powered off a few times, but the bugger still didnt die.

It couldnt take the drop from my window though

Josh would be so proud! Did you video it?

Agent - we once tried to kill a mobo at my old school (we being me and a technician) because it was arsing about and we wanted to make sure RM would replace it.

We ran a screwdriver across lots of voltage regulators, caps, chips etc as it was booting. The screen went black, then came on and CARRIED ON BOOTING!

We took the heatsink off while it was on, rubbed the CPU on a carpet then put it back in while it was still on (didn't carry on booting this time though, lol.)

We dropped keys in it, did all sorts to it. The thing wouldn't die until we physically severed some of the connections on the southbridge (in such a way that you couldn't tell.)

I do not fear static electricity, lol.

i've found Gcards are the worst for getting mashed with static, especially ATI radeon 7500 and 8500

All depends on the charge you produce
