An iFixIt ad without explosions? Man, Jay, I feel like I don't even know you anymore.
Does he even like boats.
Sad ifixit explosion noises
But stil, the best dad jokes of the day 😂😂😂❤️
His daughter was on the add, he is a responsible father and made it safe by eliminating dangerous explosions.
If he only put explosions on every dad joke
A Swiss Army knife that hopefully has a screwdriver.
Don't forget the anti static bracelet (wireless edition)
And single channel ram
CPU applicator.
Always
I found a legit platform where you can make $300 per day from your cellular phone. PAYS INSTANTLY! All you need is a cell phone or a computer. So far I've made over $32,800 in last 90days of doing this!
For more information ask me how?
Tldr: a table, tweezers and swiss army knife that hopefully has a philips screwdriver.
dont forget the allen wrench to build that table
THIS
I figured this comment would be somewhere…
Don't forget the anti static bracelet wireless edition
Definitely don't forget the "tweezers". And before you ask: Yeah, we got one.
A really good alternative to zip ties are velcro ties. Re-usable and can be cut to desired length. You don't need sidecutters to take them off. It it a better option in my opinion and that's what I use in my rig
Same, they're really useful.
1. Use the right tool for the job
2. The right tool for the job is always a hammer.
3. Anything can used as a hammer.
use a bigger hammer, btw im a retired car bodyman, hammers the answer to everything except pc stuff lmao
@@wykedinsanityProblem: computer too big
Solution: HAMMERS!
I wouldn't put electrical tape inside my PC even if I was paid for it, that stuff gets messy with heat and ends up leaving everything sticky, use zip ties or velcro strips
100%. I think it works well for Jay's purposes--mostly temporary builds for the channel--but you'll get slipping tape and gunk left behind with long term usage.
I've been using electrical tape for years, but I only use 3M type 35 tape. it comes in multiple colors and does NOT leave that gooey residue behind. www.findtape.com/3M-35-Color-Coding-Vinyl-Electrical-Tape/p577/?vid=5806&bc=C&msclkid=c59af9870c101fe16227994e2d10abbc&(ROI)%20Shopping%20-%20Electrical&Shopping%20-%20Electrical
For real, velcro ftw
It was a dark time. Back before I knew velcro strips are a thing
Can’t over tighten Velcro. Tape is okay for grouping cables but ties are good for anchoring to points in the case. They all have purposes and their place but yeah, most tapes end up getting messy. You can also buy Velcro in rolls and cut them to length.
Jay's dad jokes are the only dad jokes I found funny

You sound like my father saying: we dont need this tool
I'd like to add that in my experience either a headband mounted light, or a light with a magnetic base are preferable for keeping both hands free when working on a PC.
good point!
Two thumbs up. Head-mounted light is great. And another great head mounted thing: a magnifier, especially for those of us with older eyes
Upgrade for the flashlight would be a headlamp. Because sometimes you need both hands and most flashlights don't taste particularly well. Also I found this on-a-roll cut-to-lenght velcro tape which I almost exclusively use for all the cable-tieing
I switched from a flashlight to magnifying glasses with lights on the side. Not a magnifying glass, like glasses with the ability to switch magnification, with lights attached.. sort of like jewelers glasses.. i dont wear glasses or contacts for reference.. They are freaking awesome. I use them to have hands free light, where I am looking and I can magnify them to read the tiny 4 point font used on motherboard connector writing. I highly recommend them.
Link?
iFixit used to sell something like that
Came to the comments for Verge references. Leaving satisfied that everyone was on top of it.
No one will let go of that video. I always watch the "Supercut" everytime youtube recommends it.
@@Kenichitr the super cut is fucking amazing. Especially when bitwit gives "lyle" the segment...always makes my day 😂
It's part of pc culture now.
And I STILL can't take the Verge seriously anymore...they've lost all credibility for me
Magnetic parts trays (multiple), mini led headlamp, magnetic extendable rod.
the flexible extension that ifixit includes in some of their kits is really handy sometimes. For some reason some cases have some metal overhanging the pcie screws making it impossible to use a screwdriver on them, which you'll need because they screw them in super tight at the factory
First child ever to laugh at their dad's jokes
You did well
My dad got me with one once:
Me: "I need to clean my room badly."
Dad: "Your room is already cleaned badly"
come on. the one with the ducks was pretty good
Scripted?
"Electrical tape is becoming my replacment for zip ties." I couldn't disagree with that sentiment more. I avoid electrical tape because the adhesive is not particularly great and tends to just disappear over time (it's worse in outdoors applications though, like on vehicles, and I believe heat specifically tends to cause it to decay). And while being "electrical tape", if you really wanted it to provide insulation it's not great because it's so thin (at least IMO). I'll just stick with zip ties or some really cheap velcro cable organizers that I got from HD.
And of course, my opinion for the insulating value really came from trying to insulate a mouse-chewed spark plug wire to get something going before I could get a new magneto. There are much thicker insulating tapes that support far higher voltages and run less risk of being pierced.
It's just bad unless used in specific applications properly. I always have various types of tie downs, loom, and heat shrink on hand.
Absolutely agree with @Sevalecan. No electrician's tape!
i can not believe Jay recommended electrical tape in a PC....who is this guy.
Holy shit just time flies, I remember when she was a small child…
But Jay, everyone knows the first thing you're gonna need is a table.
How does one acquire the newest model of Jay?
I tend to build my PCs on my bed. :P
@@RiddlerFoto lol didn’t notice the typo
Oh no, Lyle will be along shortly.
allen wrench to put it together. The table that is lol
Seeing Jay get his daughter going was awesome. As a father I try to get my kids to giggle every chance I get. As for the subject, I use my iFixit Mahi kit every time I work on a pc, but as Jay said, I use maybe two bits, lol. It's really all you need these days, especially with many cases coming with standoffs built in now.
Other nice-to-haves:
Magnetic tray for holding all the metal bits-screws etc;
Joggers headlamp for light where you're looking;
Q-tips/cotton buds for cleaning fans & awkward places, keyboard;
Tweezers-something will always fall in/down…;
White eraser for cleaning rust & grime.
It’s always best to “back probe” a harness when checking for power/ground or ohms resistance. It’s a lot easier to get the proper terminals and slide them in behind the connector rather than poking through the insulation.
"Back probe." Hee hee.
Is that similar to a Black Hole?
Low voltage professional here: DO NOT use electrical tape in place of zip ties! It won't last!!! Velcro is truly the appropriate method professionally, anyway.
Hard to imagine it takes skill to use black tape properly, but I cringed when Jay brought up black tape because I can't get it back off! Maybe in 5 or 10 years but that's not really a problem in a PC case. I've been going away from black tape and to zip ties because it's so hard to undue when I need to change something. I do agree velcro is nice and a better option but it doesn't work well for small bundles of wires.
Not a professional, but i absolutely hate zipties. Velcro (hook & loop fasteners) is just the best solution. No need to cut anything when adding wires or re-arranging them.
I bought a roll of velcro tape off ebay (stick to itself stuff, hook on one side, loop on the other), game changer!
Zip ties are good, but removable/reusable velcro is so much better!
electrical tape leave that mess of a sticky situation...zip it or velcro it
Velcro is the way to go for cable management.
Electrical tape leaves an undesired residue after a period of time. Especially in a warm case.
Yup. Taking apart cable management where someone used it leaves you with gross sticky wires and residue everywhere.
Then it collects dust and makes everything else disgusting. If I see it in a build I immediately assume whoever put it together didn't care.
I bet there is an adhesive free alternative to it that would be MUCH better.
@@phenomanII Vet Wrap (Sometimes called Vetrap) is awesome for this as it sticks to itself with no residue. It comes in a $hit ton of colours and you can just cut it down to size. One roll will last forever.
Yeah, gaffer tape is a much better alternative
Agreed. Double-sided VELCRO tape is the best way to cord manage. No residue, infinitely reusable. Easy to add, remove, change etc.
As a pc building newbie (I've built 2 pcs so far), I really like this kind of videos!!! please keep them coming!
I have come to rely a lot on having a magnetic pickup tool.
Saves my life when the inevitable screw falls somewhere
I use a magnetic screw tray but still manage to lose a couple..
I highly agree there, those extendable magnetic pickup tools are prefect for getting screws that have drop into tight spaces.
I have a 'Kincrome' LED torch/flashlight that has a telescoping magnetic-pickup down the middle of it, plus the rare-earth magnet is on a short flexible section on the end!
I strongly recommend you don't poke through the insulation on your power supply wires - the back side of the plugs have the exposed crimp - you can test right there and not damage your insulation!
"Hey, there are signs of activity up there"

@@zsomborteimer2821 thank you
Funny how he’s talking about tiny screws and a numerous amount at that, I’ve been spending the last half an hour demounting and remounting my Rock Rey beadlock wheels. Just to reseat part of the tires that were pulled loose. So many screws.
Um.. is it safe to reuse the tires?
Those dad joes were absolutely gloriously cringe, Jay. Keep it up! That's how you go from "ad" to entertaining content about a sponsored product!
You can't spell "ad" without "dad"... Without the d.
Yep, agree, and his sponsor should be happy too - they got included appropriately.
You forgot the other important case modding tool- an angle grinder
"For when the Dremel just doesn't cut it"
I’d recommend a super cheap ram stick for troubleshooting as well. A 4gb stick is like less than $20 just to have it on hand to check if there’s an issue with your ram
If you’re using zip ties and want to cut the excess off don’t have a scissors near you, nail clippers will do the job.
Unpopular opinion, nail clippers are scissors
Or you can use Velcro strips and save yourself the headache
@@archiemisc I used velcro strips until I once opened one over a white surface and a whole bunch of tiny specs of black fiber were all over the place, I don't want any of that stuff clogging up the insides of my PC.
Why would someone cut them? You can reuse the zip tie with a little effort. They are really easy to unzip...
@@Hirokuro_Asura they are also like 1 cent each
The Verge has entered the chat.

You forgot to mention the tweezers, you will need them for cable management..
Don't forget the stack of $100 bills to pay the person who assembled it for you, and a sponsorship from Raid shadow legends...
I want the "Tweezers" from the Verge Video, they seem useful.
and the table
@@nightruler666 And the extremely long screws that he put in using a swiss army knife. Perfect for breaking your water cooling radiator.
xDDDD
Additional: Grounding strap, magnifier (preferably head mounted), head mounted flashlight, long needle nose pliers, magnetic pickup tool, heat shrink tubing assortment (and heat gun or lighter), several small containers (I use 35mm film canisters) for keeping small screws, etc.
Those screw drivers are sometimes called 6 in one. You get the two Philips and the two flat head bits. The two extra drivers are the hex head that the bits slot into. Usually one is 1/4 and the other a 5/16.
Tools every pc enthusiast should have:
1.table
2.tweezers
3.Allen wrench
4.Swiss army knife which hopefully has a Phillips head screwdriver
Live strong bracelet
Hahaha omg
5. Thermal paste
6. Thermal paste
7. Thermal paste
And always always always be sure to y e e t your cpu socket cover into oblivion
Long radiator screws that take forever to screw in
A small magnet on a telescoping handle is great for retreating small ferrios objects like screws you drop down in that dark space.
I just use a magnetised screwdriver.
I’ll try a little bit of compressed air
I just got one of those! It's great.
swiss army knife that hopefully has a screwdriver in it?
this joke will never die. 😂
I just built my first PC last week using nothing but a phillips head screwdriver. The part I worried most about was installing the CPU. The hardest part was actually plugging everything in and cable managing.
so all you need is a Phillips head?
Only got interested in building PC's during lockdown, my son told me about a few channels to watch to get help and this and Austin have been the most helpful to me, built about 7 or 8 so far starting with just a multi screwdriver to build my son a pc for xmas and gradually built up to more but this has been a help with ideas for problems i have had while building so far. so its another reason why im glad my 15 year old son helped me out and told me about Jayz, Thankyou dude you are one of the reasons i have really got into this and helped make it easier.
I need a video from Jay with just dad jokes for an hour straight.
That would be really punny...
To "one up" the flashlight part, I use a small head lamp meant for hiking, that way it frees up my hands.
I started using one recently and it is a game changer!
This is wrong, according to The verge, the most important tools you need are:
Thermal paste applicator
Allen wrench
Tweezers that looks like cable tie
Swiss army knife that hopefully has philips screw driver
And last but not least an anti static livestrong bracelet
Any other tools are just useless
You don’t need a antistatic bracelet just get a Normal Phillips you def don’t need a Allen wrench and just normal thermal paste no tools needed
And yes I know it’s a joke
You forgot the table.
RGB table so you have more FPS when building
More for troubleshooting, but a PSU tester is a great tool. You can do the power testing with a multimeter, but the PSU tester simplifies the process. Alternative for zip ties are hook and loop straps. You can alternate between sides for different cable runs and stick them together.
I'm a T2 engineer at an MSP, and added these as I've needed them more than a handful of times-
Multi tool (I carry a multi tool and a pocket knife)
USB ethernet adapter (testing bad nic)
USB wifi dongle (testing bad wifi nic)
a thumb drive with a windows install image
an extra CMOS jumper
I have a little zip up bag that has 1 of every usb-a to usb standard + thin HDMI, thin ethernet, and cisco console cable- not so much for enthusiast, but as a beginning IT professional, this is super super handy. Also have a mini wired mouse and roll up keyboard for when I go to work on a server.
Instead of using zip ties, I use the little metal wires generally found keeping cables tied on new packaging or closing the end of bread packaging, there's a box of those here and they are pretty useful so long as I take care to pick the ones where the plastic is in good condition so it doesn't risk shorting anything. They use a little bit more space than the electrical tape but I find it easier to work with.
My toolkit is a very cheap one, but it includes tweezers, they can be used for the same purpose as the toothpick and are much more versatile.
Since we're talking modding, a hobby 40/60W soldering iron should be there, many things can be made with these and I have used them to swap buttons and scroll wheels on mice to keep them from going to the landfill.
To accompany the soldering iron, one should also have a solder sucker, it's a bit rudimentary, basically a spring-loaded syringe meant for sucking out melted solder. Though be careful because sometimes it can rip traces off a PCB.
Another thing is a clear plastic screwdriver sorting case, if you work with computers for a while you tend to accumulate the screws that go into a case. Keep them organized and save a headache if you need store/retrieve them from a build you have to adjust.
Along with the usb stick, have a 1Tb external hard drive, doesn't even need to be fast, this is more of a quick thing you can grab and do a full backup of a machine, then be able to format said machine without having to worry if you missed anything important in the process.
Last one I forgot and had to edit it in, a paintbrush, basically the cheapest long paintbrush you can get your hands on, makes cleaning dust a breeze.
The little metal wires are called twist ties 👍
Good stuff. I recommend Velcro strips. You can get a spool of 8" Velcro strips from Amazon. I often cut them in half if I don't need 8". Much easier to reuse than zip ties and no metal like wire ties.
Your cable management video featuring cable ties was incredibly useful with a build I did earlier this year. Not sure how many machines I've put together without 'em.
One thing missing here was an ESD mat and grounding strap. The odds of ESD being an issue is pretty low for most parts, but with the price of GPUs right now, why risk it?
Ok, dude the odds of this are so low it isn't even funny, I built PCs on carpets and never had an issue, you just don't lay circuit boards on fiber/carpet surfaces and you are more than fine, Its a thing of the past, almost all modern circuit boards have protections to prevent you from killing modern electronics.
You also never needed a mat or Grounding strap, simply touch the case, a metal surface to ground out on before handling naked circuit boards. I always laughed at people who used that gimmick crap.
I just wear my live stong bracelet
@@travgonz HAHHAHHAHA, love it, yeah exactly since the 90's the only people I seen using them were wanna be pros or people learning in colleges where the professor didn't trust them not to be retards, well and you always had that 1 uber nerd that had the sweater vest while working on PCs.
Never need one of these, because I lived in humid area which in turn reduces or made ESD quickly dissipated
i have basically every you talked about. one thing i feel like you missed was dusting! IMO the reusable duster do ok in a pinch but highly recommend a plug in blower. also swiffer duster is definetly a must for the desk
I just bought an ifixit pro tech toolkit for my first build. While yes, you probably only need a Philips and a flat head screwdriver, the Ifixit kits are just overall great to have in your tech toolbag. Gotten tons of use out of it. opening, building and repairing.
100% recommend

Don't cut the zips with pincers! The resulting edge can cut you and it's very painful. The makers of those ties like Hellermanntyton have specific tolls to install them: they are calibrated in order to tighten the zips without damaging the wires, and when the preset force is reached, they make a clean cut.
In my shop, we call these "cheap plastic zips that break too often" (here, saving money costs more in the end: just buy good nylon zips or some other strong polyamide "mixture"). If the manufacturer says that it's actually "by design", i.e. _"calibrated so that the zips don't damage the wires,"_ then they're just throwing a truckload of BS at you!... They're simply time-consuming (finding a good one after braking a couple), add up to the pollution (when half the bag's content is only good for the trash bin), and as such, "toxic" lol.
BTW, if one cannot sense whether a zip tie is too tight, to the point of cutting through a wire, or too loose, then that person isn't fit to work professionally as a PC builder (not even as an amateur since it's quite straightforward), or whatever else that would require cable management and zip ties regularly - they should hire someone else like a friend (if not a professional) who's more agile with assembling stuff...
NOTE about Hellermanntyton - they seem to make good quality zip ties. However, requiring a special tool just to attach zip ties... Come on man ;-), it's uselessly time-consuming. Just attach the zip and move on with the build. Their uniqueness relies on the fact the zip heads have an RFID chip - Personally, I wouldn't see any practical context for using such a gadget, but hey, who knows (it's more targeted toward discouraging some employees to steal attachments for their personal use since they're small, are packaged in big numbers, and are supposed to be cheap: it'd be an HR or provisioning control leverage more than anything else)...
One thing I have been doing over the last year or so is using the long twist ties that are often used to keep new cables together in the packaging in place of zip ties. Most of the time they are insulated and dark so they hide very well in a traditional case, usually very long so can be used even to tie all of the PSU cables together, and I find usually easier to fish through weird places that zip ties can be a pain to place. Bonus is they are usually included in most hardware packaging that has cables and are reusable. They are often useful for cable management with cases like Jay said where there is not much clearance between the chassis and case cover or any other place where the zip tie catch becomes an issue
Painters tape is an absolute must. It's cheap, barely leaves residue and doesn't take paint off. Super useful for a lot of different things.
Another thing I've started using recently is a cheap-arse headband light. Great for keeping your hands free whilst still shedding a light on all the crap you're messing up under the desk this time around.
The video was worth it just for your daughter’s reaction to your jokes!
6:36 - LPT- Get a head mounted, adjustable light.
I highly recommend Ventoy: it's open source software that allows you to literally just copy bootable image files to your USB stick and then select which one to load at boot time. Got various OS installers, live systems like Kali or TAILS, the classic UBCD for older systems, plus the odd BIOS flasher, etc. sitting on a single thumbdrive in my backpack. Love it, 12/10
*edit* oh, apart from what you've already mentioned, my 'field kit' also includes a few cotton buds and a can of compressed air (ok, it's not air, but yeah). And (idk whether they're common in the US aswell) some Tesa Powerstrips - basically double-sided sticky tape with eventual residue-less removal in mind (the ones rated for 1kg work like a charm).
What i keep in my tech bag ?
ATX PSU tester , multihead screwdriver set , zip bag with few diffrent thermopads types , a tube of good thermal compound , small bag of zip ties , electrical and duble side tape , canned air is also usesfull (sometimes).
I would consider anti-static/grounded workmat also essential when handling static-sensitive components and left out of the anti-static bag for too long of a period. Or more importantly, diagnostics with the motherboard outside the case.
when I worked in a repair shop, we did almost everything with a simple number 2 screwdriver
"Gonna stop digging a hole there"
Well it's ok, as long as your tip is too big for it.
Hey Jay, in terms of the double-sided tape don't put a big piece when using it on SSDs. Cut small squares (no bigger than 3/8ths of an inch squared) and stick it right to the edge of the corners. When ur ready to remove em just use an exacto knife to cut it or a Jimmy from the iFixit kit to pry it off.
As someone really trying to find my footing in the IT industry videos like this are super helpful so I don't find myself trying to do a job without the tools o need. Thank you.
jay really did change the title from "pc tools you need" or something like that to "Wanna build a PC? Watch this first!"
I stopped using cable ties years ago i found it a pain when swapping and upgrading so i now use small velcro cable ties and velcro tape for ssd
I'm a simple man. I hear Dad jokes and I like.
XD
God bless jake…my daughter is still 3.5 yrs old and I think she starting to show interest to stuff when I put them apart….happy Father’s Day to all dads
If you don't have access to shop towels or can't buy them, you can use basket coffee filters instead. They also don't leave behind any lint, and are much easier to find and obtain.
you called your flashlight a screwdriver...
"I went a long time without a screwdriver in my toolbox" he says, holding up a flashlight
There was a correction text edit in the video
"Quacks in the pavement" quacked me up XD
Antistatic wristbands. Those are a MUST have.
Wireless one!
No just no 🤣🤣
Avoid Carpet
& ground yourself with your case
Some other pro tips:
- headlamp instead of a flashlight is a blessing
- cheapest nitrile gloves will save a lot of mess when removing/applying thermal paste
- a small magnet near the tip of your screwdriver will help with screws falling off
If you're running heaps of fans, put a small coloured dot somewhere out of sight on the fan and on the corresponding plug, using a different colour for each fan. It can make life easier diagnosing faulty fans and checking plug connections without ripping out all your cables.
Ayy we get to see the girl who swindled Jay out of a new gaming PC 😁
Rather use zip ties than tape, tape has the habit of leaving stickiness over time, zip ties are easier to remove.
I use non-adhesive silicone tape. It only sticks to itself and leaves behind no sticky residue, if you need to rewire your computer. You can get it on Amazon for fairly cheap.
Those dad jokes tho. So bad that they're actually good. We need more!
I use one of these all the time. I stick it on the edge of the case while installing all of my internal components.
From Amazon, NextLED 350 Lumen Foldable Rechargeable Work Light, COB LED Slim Work Light with Magnetic Base.
Velcro > zip ties.
You can buy a 25 meter wheel of it on amazon for ~ $10, then just cut it to length. No big hard knobs, easy to undo when you need to remove/replace a single wire.
Dad jokes are the best
I love dad jokes, Jay should add more of them into his videos going forward :P
Jay: "let's stop digging ourself a a bigger hole
20 seconds later
Jay: "I'm always sticking my stuff everywhere
Instead of using zip ties, use velcro cable ties. They're neater and can be reused easily.
And instead of using double sided tape that means it's difficult to get your SSD from where you stuck it, use sticky backed velcro tape. You could even combine that with velcro cable ties and stick the cable ties to patches of velcro tape you stick around your case.
10:58 I'd really recommend one with both usb-a and c, this allows you to even use your phone to download the required drivers.
2 tools I'd recommend as well: Magnetic parts tray (so you don't lose screws and/or can vaguely group them) and a ratchet screwdriver :)
Just like Linus carries in his back pocket every day, everywhere he goes. And when he gets it out, he flips it in his hand.
We'll stop telling dad jokes when y'all finally stop laughing at them!
Jay: This is just about the only tool you really need to build a computer.
Me: Stops watching video.
It's true though. Everything else is for ease of life, but you can build a computer with just a screw driver.
@@markwilliamdiano5018 Except for one annoying little thing, that damn tiny screw for the NVME drive, it is the one exception where you need a different screwdriver haha 😂
@@SkyForce6700 what driver do you need ?
18:30 the little jumper cable is sufficient, there's no need for the outer plastic adapter, which is useless. It could also be a metal (non-aluminum) clipper or whatever piece of electrical wire
Skil makes a screwdriver that's available online using your favorite shipping retailer for cheap that's got everything but the wire cutter, but is basically exactly the same as the blue/black/gray screwdriver that Jay showed on there. It fits and holds strong to all standard 1/4" bits and works great with the iFixit kit bits using the adapter in their kits.
You're my go-to tool, Jay.
Love the dad jokes! Any recommendations to prevent static electricity damaging the components during handling? Or is it not something we should be worried about with the modern components?
It's not something you should worry too much about. Just be reasonable - don't wear fuzzy socks/wool clothes and rub your feet on the ground before you build a PC, and try not to build on carpet. Use a safe surface like a wood table, cardboard box, or an ESD safe mat with a ground wire (really, the first two should be fine.) Discharge your static in any way you like - an easy way is to plug in your power supply (with its power switch in "I" / "on") and touch the metal body of the power supply anywhere. The exterior of the power supply is attached to ground.
A pair of magnifying/reading glasses so my old eyes can see to plug the front header cables in properly.

@@thomasphillips885 I'd zoom in the wrong spot and keep looking for the right header then zoom out again to re adjust my position. And repeat...
@@The_MisTrO hahaha yeah true :-P
Parts tray, to keep all the different screws organized. The lid of the iFixIt kit will do.
ESD bracelet because you don't want to risk it.
Pliers to grab wires and fallen screws.
Datavac or air compressor or canned air for cleaning.
Use LTT cable ties or twist-ties instead of zipties, because they can be undone and redone easily.
Years ago I picked up a dedicated Power Supply tester. It has connectors for all the standard cables and gives you a quick digital readout of what's going on. It has saved me so much time and it was inexpensive.
Imagine using a screwdriver to make building easier and safer when you can just get some scissors and yolo it
Not my proudest moment but it worked at least lmao
Well this is handy, I was literally just looking for what I would need to build a pc.

Good luck finding a GPU right now. A lot of APUs are even in short supply last time I checked
"the one with the needle that moves"
the word is ANALOG
Telescopic magnetic pickup tool. 3 or 4 claw pickup tool. For picking up dropped screws on the motherboard or deep in the case.
For the double sided tape: get a VHB one from 3m - this baby can hold a spoiler or sideskirts on a car. And for removing, get the cheapest fishing line, and just use it as a wire saw.
