Should the wrist strap be then connected to the chassis?

Jean Bourvic Wrote:  "Build your own grounding wire.  Connect the alligator
clip to
the metal chassis of the computer and plug the banana plug into the
ground pin socket of the ac outlet.  You now have a grounded chassis
without any ac power applied.  And when you use your wrist strap, any
static voltages that may be try to develop on your body will be
dissipated through the grounding wire of the AC power system to earth
ground."
