CRIO electrical question

I have to build the electronics board tomorrow. I was going to use a lexan base because it will isolate the CRIO from the frame as per instructions. However, after thinking abou it, I started to worry about static. We have plastic wheels on a plastic floor near lexan. There is a big potential for static. I thought I would use wood, but eveyone else complained because it would look unprofessional. What's everyone else using? Is there any cheap alternative to wood that would keep me from having static issues. Also, how are you suppose to attach the CRIO anyway. There is nothing to screw into on it.
