excellent. good job. I'm going to upgrade my XP box to Win7 because Win7 just works so much better.
as far as the "plugged in the wall" for grounding... sounds like a short cut to getting electrocuted. Unplugged means that no power will trickle from that PSU at all, 100% of the time.
I swapped out a PSU in 15 minutes last night because a rail started to smell burnt and the PSU ran hot. No anti-static anything, just good common sense of touching metal before handling the board and not working on a carpet or during windy days.
The last board I fried due to static electricity was an Apple ][ 16k card. I've built hundreds of computers, and repaired thousands without ever frying parts.
