    You have all the essential components, all that's left is to get started.

    I would get a mechanical keyboard anyway. I have this really old dell one so i can't recommend one at the moment but you should read this

    Should have all cables supplied, you might want to get some thermal paste in case you want to remove/re-seat your CPU cooler. A #1 Philips head driver & a few tie-wraps for cable management & your're set :)

    A cheap electric screw driver - makes the process much less or a drag!

    Personally I wouldn't use an electric screw driver when working on or building a PC.

    +1 If you mean a battery drill, its very easy to strip a screw and if it slipped off a screw you could end up hopping the driver head off the Mono.

    Then comes the expensive sound...

    thanks for the input lads , personally i wouldnt want any sort of power tool in there , too easy slip or over tighten etc , and im used to working with tools so it wont be a big deal,
    ordered a mech keyboard its supposed to be a fairly quiet one apparently uses cherry brown switches instead of cherry blue what ever that means lol :o:D

    All depends on what you're used to. Our techs used to use them all the time and never a bother. Personally I'm very lazy!

    Also use the torque adjustment people! They are there for your safety ;)
