An Antistatic Rist strap isnt needed, but it saves you &#036;100s of dollars in damage.
Wire Snippers/Strippers, Sodering, etc

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&#39;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&#39;m not a modder - I&#39;m happy with my components just the way they are. [/b][/quote]
If you don&#39;t wanna shock wear rubber gloves

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

I don&#39;t know about making chips, but most of the modding sites I&#39;ve seen are really dealing with techniques and tools that are not really computer specific.

Stuff like sheetmetal work or even plumbing ( for watercooling) that may be applied to your computer, but aren&#39;t especially electronic.

I&#39;ve never needed more than a screwdriver

[sparsely]

when I go somewhere, I carry all kinds of shit with me...
big book o&#39; software, IDE, cat5, usb, power, and other cables..cable ties, toners, cable testers, mulimeter, outlet tester...
also known good parts, like; NIC, video card, CD/Floppy/Hard Drive, etc, etc, etc.

I don&#39;t carry all this stuff all the time, but if there&#39;s one thing I hate it&#39;s needing something & not having it. Being unable to repair
something just cuz I forgot/was too lazy to bring it really pisses me off.
And I was a Boy Scout, our motto is "Be Prepared"&#33;

You fellows are missing the point of a grounding wrist strap.........It&#39;s not so
that you dont get shocked.

It prevents static electricity from discharging into your computer.
