I'd go with what is written here. Power Computing did recommend using an
anti-static wrist strap if one is available, but they also include info on
grounding yourself without one, and it's essentially what's written above.
From page 72 of my PowerCenter Pro's User's Guide, in the section about
adding RAM:
"1. Shut down the computer and turn off the monitor, but leave the
computer plugged in to the electrical outlet. Leaving the computer plugged
in ensures that it is grounded."
And continuing in a later part of the same section, on page 79:
"Make sure the computer is powered down before removing the
cover. CAUTION: Touch the metal plate over the hard kids drive to
discharge any static electricity that might have built up on your clothes
or body. The system must be plugged in (see step 1 on page 72) for this to
work."
