    A phillips screwdriver is normally all that's needed for screwing in the motherboard, power supply etc.

    ^ Same. It can come in handy for various non-screwdriver-related things though - prying, jimmying, kajiggering, and so forth.

    I've also never used an anti-static strap. I touch a kettle, or jam a screwdriver in the earth pin of a wall socket before I start, and I don't build it on carpet.

    I've had one of these in my toolbox for ages but never knew what it was for! Oh well, I better go build a computer now so :rolleyes:

    Cable ties are also very handy to have.Some cases supply you with them.
