Note that you must leave the power cable plugged in for that to be
completely effective, so that any ESD has a path to ground.  That
assumes that you have a proper three-prong power cable and your outlet
is properly grounded.

Alternatively, and grounded wrist strap is a really good idea.  It has a
resistor inside it too to reduce the risk of shock should you
accidentally touch something hot while you're grounded.

Good suggestions all around, Roy!
