Computer Kit/toolbox Size?

[Wolfmight]

What is the size of your Computer Tool Kit?
I'm talking about tools that are only for/can be used on a computer.
Tools used for other electronic devices that run off computer chips and such count also.

Do you have a workshop? btw i'm talkin Computer only tools.. Not a Chainsaw or Sledge hammer. (though those can be used for other matters... anger with a machine )

Gee, I dunno.

I have a fairly good set of tools because I was a mechanic for years.
Computers really don't require much in the way of tools, I've found.

I don't have any specialized diagnostic stuff. If there is such a thing...

That's sorta what I like about 'em- you don't get dirty and you rarely bleed.

i just use what's lying around (i only usually use screwdrivers, really)

Computers only need two things:

1 small box of mini screw drivers + and -

One medium sized + screw driver

that's for basic building

some people are advanced modders.. maybe even Chip makers. (start with a breadboard.. then get it produced into a silicon chip)

An Antistatic Rist strap isnt needed, but it saves you $100s of dollars in damage.
Wire Snippers/Strippers, Sodering, etc

Anyone here heard of Yoshi from The Screen Savers? did you see his room on that one episode about his living area? Man, that's an example of Godlike. he had probably over a 1,000 tools all use for his computer mods.

1. Take the fuse out of a power cable
2. plug it into the PSU of your computer
3. grip your PSU with both hands periodically as you work inside the case

Works for me - you're grounded each time you touch the case and without the fuse, no power can get through to the case.


The only equipment I use is a screwdriver, a pair of fine pliers (for twisting parts off cases or getting at slippery jumpers), and my fuseless power cable (I keep one around - it saves time).

Then again, I'm not a modder - I'm happy with my components just the way they are.

but what about other power sources.. such as the Powered Cable TV cables from outside. With this rist strap+Copper pipe connection outside.. They dont even shock me even if i touch the pin and input at the same time.
