Static isn't too big a problem as long as you're careful, try and handle the motherboard at the edges if possible. A quick tap on the radiator now and then should be fine.

Best be safe than sorry.

Tanker its not just static you should be worried about!!
Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP) can also destroy a motherboard as well as your kitchen blender and car so don't build your PC next to any Nuclear Weapon Test Centre's Ok.. :)

Tanker its good to take precautions and just earth yourself by touching any Grounded metal object.. a Bath (not the plastic variety), a radiator as already mentioned would suffice....

And as for static... Try this its Cool
Get an inflated balloon and rub it in your hair for a short while... then place the ballon on the wall... MAGIC it will stick like glue.... :) its good for christmas as you dont have to use pins .... this keeps me amused anyway..lol
