An ESD shock you can see carries about 20,000 volts

Just 30volts from can ruin your day.

Got one =)

I get kinda freaked about static, specially when I was working on my bros computer, and also when I was giving my comp her gfx card..... If I didnt have my computer....well deep depression would follow :P
