OK, I'm back. Things are going slowly because of the pain in my head -
but they're moving forward.

What tools do I need to put together a PC (all suggestions welcome). Is
there a small, powered screwdriver, variable speed, for this sort of
thing? (I know I don't need a powered screwdriver for one computer - but
I like powered TOOLS!!! Hand tools? Workplace? Cleaners?

Is there a URL that is much better than the rest - that shows and
explains all the steps?

Thanks guys..............

(1) A #2 Philips Screwdriver (not powered)
(2) A dozen 8" zip ties
(3) A 5mm hex driver (maybe)

I would think a computer would use more than one size nut/bolt than a 5mm
- no???
No, and that would probably only be needed for the case. Almost
everything can be done with the Philips screwdriver. The zip ties are
mainly in case you are a neatness freak. Most power supplies have the
cables bundled already.
