I faced the same issue while serving in Zaragoza, Spain. Used a six-foot steel rod (no copper available) and drove it about four feet into the ground. Ran 12-gauge wire to the closest radiator (there was no central heating) and removed some paint from it before wrapping the wire around the pipe. All the radiators were linked by the same piping that handled earth ground. Then connected a short 16-gauge wire from my PC case to the radiator. Success—no more shock. Stay safe and good luck.
A tiled and wooden flooring setup can work, but the tiles might still cause you discomfort. If that happens, going barefoot with flip-flops could be a simpler choice.
Do you believe a visible rebar from a construction site will function properly? The location where your PC is placed outside, near the front gate close to the main entrance, seems suitable. Should the homemade earth wire be made thicker? What thickness would be appropriate with only AWG 18 wires available?
Absolutely, that's the way we do things here—Eurostyle! No ground wires, no shocks when plugging in... I guess there might be an issue with the PC setup, though. I wear new balance or Nike Wildleather sneakers and walk on oak hard floor. Eurostyle, okay! (Joking, maybe it's just that.)
