you can buy a wrist strap if you want one
you dont need one though as long as you touch the case of the pc a few times while you are working on it
good luck

Get an anti-static bracelet at a computer store. Otherwise, always make sure to touch an unpainted metal sorface on the case, preferably the back of the case, before putting your hands inside. Do it often.

You don't need a static band. Plant your feet on the floor and don't move them. Then touch a screw of a wall outlet or the metal case of a live power supply to ground yourself. Then work on the computer withouth worrying about static!

Leave the PC plugged into the wall socket (but ensure switched off) work with one hand holding the case, end of prob, you are grounded.

Touch the metal case often.
