Computer Build Preparation

[marky112233]

Hey all,

Tommorow I'll have all the components I need for my new build. Since it's my first build, im going to be preparing for all types of problems. I know for one that I'll need a set of beep errors and an static wristband (Just to be safe), what else should I take on my build

Ill try and move the computer im on into another room with internet access so I can use that, but for easier use, is there anything I should print out maybe?

And also, any hints or tips?

Thanks,

Marky

Personally I just have;

A flat soft surface (to avoid scratching anything) - my double bed
A philips screwdriver - I have a cheapo one that fits all PC screws and is a decent quality
Light - I have a halogen ceiling light with 3downward spots within 2inchs of each other, provides loads of light so I can see what I'm doing
Time/Patience - Enough said
A camera - to log my build

Those are the general things I have, I don't use a static band or anything, but I also mostly wear cotton anyways so no static.

I also have cotton buds for split thermal compound aswell as cotton face wipe pad things for use with thermal cleaner and thermal paste I am removing from chips. - This only really matters if you are applying aftermarket coolers and thermal paste.


That's all I can think of...oh wait, coffee, but on my desk away from the newbuild

Thanks
A torch is a good idea, I'm sure that will come in handy
And im a cola guy lol, I'll grab a 12 pack so Cola will be at arms length at all times
