Yeah, the motherboard mounting brackets are non conductive. oh yeah, I've known a few friends that killed a motherboard that way. or not ground themselves while working on a PC, and a static shock does some lovely damage

On a lighter note, this server has pretty dang reliable up to now! haven't had a 4 day downtime in years! (I think? maybe during the 4 hurricanes in 2004)
