Motherboard & Case Installation

摘要

Certain tools-such as a Phillips screwdriver-are essential for any PC build. But a few other items can make things go a lot smoother. In addition to an antistatic wrist strap (see Tip 2) and cable ties (see Tip 19), handy household items include needle-nose pliers, a small flashlight (the compact LED type is great for placing inside the case, hands-free, while you work), paper and a pencil (see Tip 9), and a pair of clippers (even nail clippers will do). Also useful, but less likely for you to have around the house: a "parts picker." Commonly provided in electronics tool kits, it's a little retractable claw for grabbing screws dropped into inconvenient places.
