The other thing you can do is lick the tip of your finger (not dripping wet, just enough to be moist) and wipe it across the bottom-inside of the case (or any other UNPAINTED part). This also works well because the moisture will discharge into YOU and not other components (more often than not, you will not be shocked though).
As for running the humidifier... I dont know what the effect would be. In data center's we often shoot for sub 20% humidity. Though, as I said... I know nothing about the effects of humidity when it comes to electrostatic charges.
