I agree with the others here, but I did like the article, for the most part. The thing that made me a bit mad is this:
Faraday Cages DO NOT PREVENT STATIC DISCHARGE, they stop radio waves.A faraday cage case would be good because it almost forces a person to ground before touching components, but static build-up and discharge will still occur.
Imagine this:
A person wearing wool socks is in a faraday cage, and rubs their feet on a carpet with a rubber base. They then touch computer components, also on a rubber base, and destroy them. While this is an extreme case, a faraday cage doesn't magically ground everything that enters it.
In addition, even if the parts were connected to the cage, electricity would still discharge through them.
Next time, do more research
