Computers hang up and lose speed for no apparent reason. Often this is caused by static electricity being discharged into the computer. An electric vacuum cleaner moving across carpeting can generate as much as a 1000 volts of static electricity, a broom on a hard surface floor can generate up to 200 volts which can transfer to your tower sitting on the floor. The constant release of static into your computer degrades its performance over time. Now you can help rectify this by using an Anti-Static Computer Platform. The platform acts as a shield against static electricity, it captures the static and sends it safely to ground.
