Things needed to build a computer

[nick5530]

I am going to be building a computer soon and was wondering what I would need.

• Screwdrivers
• Zip-ties/Velcro
• Bandaids (depending on the case/components)
• Flashlight
• Tweezers/Needle nose pliers
• Anti-static wrist strap (if you want to be cautious)

That's all I can thing of off the top of my head that's not and actual hardware component.

What type of screwdrivers? Also, why the bandaids?

Mostly a Phillips head kit. Magentic, if possible.

 

The Band-aids are because you might slice your hands up a bit. If you get a good, quality case like a Fractal, NZXT or Thermaltake that curves and rolls their steel, you might make it out unscathed. If you get a "Bob's Case Factory" build, you'll need a blood transfusion.

Some parts can be pretty sharp is the reason for the bandaids. And also just get a screwdriver kit. A lot of diff screws come in the kit

PC parts, patience, cool place or sweatband, time, OS install media, internet connection, preferable drivers on USB stick, 2nd device for internet troubeshooting, bit more time and patience.

Really, you could build a computer with a just a butter knife if you wanted to.
