it has a circuit board, so yes you could have. most ESD (electro static discharge) kills things over time though, so while you might not fry a component immediately, you can greatly shorten it's life by not handling things properly.

Here's a quick installation guide
1) Prepare the case (open the case up)
2) install the studs on the backplate for motherboard mounting
--------------------------------------------------------------
3) Install CPU
4) put thermal paste on the CPU
5) Install CPU heatsink and fan
6) Install Ram
7) Mount the Motherboard inside the case
--------------------------------------------------------------
8) Mount the PSU, Hard Drive, DVD, card reader (USB powered) and video card
9) Fap for 10 minutes celebrating it is half way completed
10) Read the motherboard manual to wire the case (power/LED/USB/reset)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
11) Data cables for HD and DVD
12) Power cables for Case, HD, DVD, Motherboard, Video Card, and Fans.
13) Check video cable, keyboard/mouse cable.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
14) Fap for another 10 minutes celebrating it is 99% completed
15) Testing

The thermal paste is something that many, many people screw up. This is actually where I suggest the OP be the most careful.
I would also suggest running a program like Speedfan after assembly to make sure everything is running well.
