An iFixIt ad without explosions? Man, Jay, I feel like I don't even know you anymore.

[mmTickle]

A Swiss Army knife that hopefully has a screwdriver.

[mini-_]

The biggest tool in my PC building arsenal, is myself.

[mynameisconnorimtheandroid]

First child ever to laugh at their dad's jokes

You did well

1. Use the right tool for the job
2. The right tool for the job is always a hammer.
3. Anything can used as a hammer.

I wouldn't put electrical tape inside my PC even if I was paid for it, that stuff gets messy with heat and ends up leaving everything sticky, use zip ties or velcro strips

[SgtRock]

Tldr: a table, tweezers and swiss army knife that hopefully has a philips screwdriver.

Jay's dad jokes are the only dad jokes I found funny

[rocha]

I have come to rely a lot on having a magnetic pickup tool.

Saves my life when the inevitable screw falls somewhere

[silversolver]

Other nice-to-haves:
Magnetic tray for holding all the metal bits—screws etc;
Joggers headlamp for light where you're looking;
Q-tips/cotton buds for cleaning fans & awkward places, keyboard;
Tweezers—something will always fall in/down…;
White eraser for cleaning rust & grime.

[stelp]

But Jay, everyone knows the first thing you're gonna need is a table.

[dirtysnakesnu]

Came to the comments for Verge references. Leaving satisfied that everyone was on top of it.

[GreatUchiha]

Holy shit just time flies, I remember when she was a small child…

[Piciu]

A really good alternative to zip ties are velcro ties. Re-usable and can be cut to desired length. You don't need sidecutters to take them off. It it a better option in my opinion and that's what I use in my rig

[a.sanford]

I'd like to add that in my experience either a headband mounted light, or a light with a magnetic base are preferable for keeping both hands free when working on a PC.

[Graphics_Card]

Tools every pc enthusiast should have:
1.table
2.tweezers
3.Allen wrench
4.Swiss army knife which hopefully has a Phillips head screwdriver

[DarkSuperRunChao]

"Hey, there are signs of activity up there"

*chuckles

[MatmanPDX]

Low voltage professional here: DO NOT use electrical tape in place of zip ties! It won't last!!! Velcro is truly the appropriate method professionally, anyway.

[Sevalecan]

"Electrical tape is becoming my replacment for zip ties." I couldn't disagree with that sentiment more. I avoid electrical tape because the adhesive is not particularly great and tends to just disappear over time (it's worse in outdoors applications though, like on vehicles, and I believe heat specifically tends to cause it to decay). And while being "electrical tape", if you really wanted it to provide insulation it's not great because it's so thin (at least IMO). I'll just stick with zip ties or some really cheap velcro cable organizers that I got from HD.

And of course, my opinion for the insulating value really came from trying to insulate a mouse-chewed spark plug wire to get something going before I could get a new magneto. There are much thicker insulating tapes that support far higher voltages and run less risk of being pierced.

You forgot the other important case modding tool- an angle grinder
