Always prepare and have
everything close at hand before starting to build a PC. This will save a lot of
time when you come to put it all together. There is nothing worse than when you
forget that you needed a screw driver after going to a friends house to build
his PC.
SCREWDRIVER
: Invest in a good screwdriver that has the following features. Multiple
heads and a telescopic Magnet (So that you can easily pick screws up when you
drop them into the computer. (believe me it happens))
PLATE
: Borrow a plate from the cupboard to hold your screws, stands and other bits
and bobs that could easily be lost. See below Image.
CARDBOARD
: This usually comes from the box that the case is shipped in, you will need
this especially if you are doing the work on your dinning room table. Open the
box fully and set it down, this is now your work surface. See Below Image, case
is sitting on cardboard box that it was shipped in, protecting the good table.
ELECTRICITY
: You need this to test your computer. So have an extension cable with multiple
adapters that reaches your work area.
STATIC
: Take anti static precautions, before handling electrical items, touch the
internal metal of your case, you can also buy anti-static wrist bands if need
be.
PLASTERS
: Keep a few plasters lying about, there are quite a few sharp edges
inside the case and the odd time you can get a small cut (worst cut I ever got
required 6 stitches).
ALCOHOL
: I find a few tins of beer or a bottle of wine helps, it turns the job of
building your computer into something less work related, and makes it far more
enjoyable. Remember don't drink too much, and if you do, stop working on your
computer. (Not recommended for your first time build or if you are under the
legal drinking age)
