The only time you should have "problems" with static is when you are messing around inside touching stuff. As long as everything is pluged in and grounded you should be ok. What we know and what we do are 2 diffrent things.make sure you are grounded and keep the components away from the plastics when your working on them. just some fyi, unrolling a piece of masking tape generates 7k volt static charge.

P.S. sounds cool, I would like to see some pic's when its done...
