I have a screwdriver.
And a small adjustable spanner (Its tiny!)
Everything else isnt needed! Apart from cable ties and something to cut them. But, I do mod stuff, so a dremel, pillar drill, band saw, (Will be getting a milling machine and lathe as soon as I can!) etc.

+1, with the addition of cable ties and something to cut them with.
Mug of tea is a must.

• A screwdriver set or at least one flat and Philips screw driver sizes #2 and # 3 (all non magnetic)
• A sharp knife
• Long tweezers
• Cable Ties
• TIM cleaner, acetone or ethanol (denatured Alcohol). Do not use any paraffin based products such as White Spirit
• A lint free dry cloth
• Thermal Compound or paste
• An Anti static mat or wristband (optional). I use an anti-static mat which is earthed at all times. Although this is optional bear in mind you shouldn’t under estimated the forces of ESD (Electro Static Discharge) which can have a long term effect on your components. If you can get a mat or wristband, then make sure you touch a radiator or something that’s grounded before touching any components.
• Blu-Tak – Trick usd to pick up screws dropped into the case or to reach screws holes which can’t be reached. Simply place a small piece on the end of your screw driver and pick or stick the screw on the end. Simple.
