I was always taught (while in college) to leave it plugged in but switched off at the socket. I've never been electrocuted. If you know different then I retract my statement. If its not plugged in it has nothing to ground to?


I was taught by Cisco Academy to always unplug machines before working on them... two different schools of thought I suppose. Technically at the point you unplug the case it is at the same ground level as the electrical socket anyway.

I have never left a computer plugged in whilst working on it and in all the years I have been building, repairing and upgrading computers I have never had any problems with ESD.
