Today I went shopping for a computer desk and chair, mine was shit and I decided to get new ones. While at Office Plus the guy tried to sell me a computer chair floor mat because the room it's going in is carpeted and they claim static electricity will fry electronics. Has anyone in the history of the world have/seen/or known anyone who has ever fried a computer with static electricity???

>carpet mat
I have one but there are permanent grooves in it now where the wheels have dug into, keeps the chair from rolling around so I ain't complaining, and when I cum straight up it no longer dirties my carpet just a simple wipe and done, double purpose thing.
As for static electricity I didn't even know that these could help with preventing that, I just got it so my chair wheels would damage the carpet.

I have a small rug from ikea that just cost £10 and does the job. Looks better than a slab of plastic on the floor too.

this
however I never had problems with static electricity on carpets, built several PCs on carpet, never got shocked for driving around a chair on carpet and I don't know anyone who has

The mat is useful to not leave the grooves in a carpet and also easier rolling than on a carpet, also if you have hard floor, the wheels fuck em up in couple of years, so the mat would protect from that
i have one cause of cheap carpet, and my chair pulled out a fiber and ruined it
