+This sounds similar to my method. Having assured myself that the 3-wire
+lead (in U.S., aka power &quot;cord&quot;) is actually connected to a grounded
+(earthed) circuit, I switch off the power supply, which disconnects the
+live wire. I might push the ATX power button, which will spin the fan a
+few turns when the machine has been powered up recently, indicating to
+me a discharge of some residual potential from capacitor(s), I guess.
+Then, I periodically ground my IT corpus to the computers metal frame,
+especially before handling the component of my attentions. :)
