What in particular are you looking for?

There isn't really such thing as a repair kit, most people's computer repair kit is just an accumulation of different important materials.

Here is a short list of some of the stuff you might need,
1. A screw driver
2. Thermal Paste
3. Compressed Air
4. A piece of wire (to test the PSU)
5. A few extra cables, SATA mostly

I'm sure others can add to that list, but as you can see there is no real need for a 'kit' one screw driver will be enough. All the other stuff you might need are things to either check if different parts are dead, or to put the PC back together properly.

EDIT: Just found this, might be of interest

You might add an anti-static wrist strap to the above list. That said I have one and never used it! Do not go waste you money on a 'kit', the tools in them are usually rubbish quality and you will hardly-if ever-use them.
Agree with above poster an assortment of bits and pieces you pick up over time is all you need.

Thanks guys, thats what I was doing. Some friends of mine were saying that I should get a computer repair kit. However I already have a toolkit and didnt think I needed a specialised kit etc
