    lol, Computer technician. You can do it by yourself, it's not difficult to install a card.

    Electro static discharges are pretty rare. To ground yourself you just touch a metal piece on the back of the computer's case for about 30 seconds and then you can open the case and install the video card.

    I've opened my computer up and tweaked stuff without proper grounding and it's still been fine, even though it's not recommended.
