[Slava Baytalskiy]

These are the ESD-related items that i used few weeks ago while building my new K3:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009ENYYGU/ref=oh_details_o04_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AMCG21C/ref=oh_details_o04_s01_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Seems to have worked since i'm using the K3 and all the tests went fine...
Hope this helps.
