Actually, if I don't have a ground-only cable handy (that I made from
a regular power cable) then I prefer to leave the electricity
connected so long as I'm not working on the motherboard, especially at
people's homes where I might be standing on carpet, etc. The dangerous
current is all in the sealed PSU, and the ground circuit will help
prevent static-related problems (which tend to kill memory, but not
all at once).
