At work, i am finishing up a test bench for computer repairs etc. I have started to get the parts that i need to be able to diagnose and fix things, but theres always something that i haven't thought about. I think i got most of the hardware ready, the software, not so much
Brought in so far:
Hardware:
- A bunch of different screws for cabinets, motherboards, laptops, fans etc.
- Some IDE, SATA cabling. Laptop 2,5 to IDE via USB adapter
- 17" LCD screen
- A few PCI graphics cards, some soundcards
- A couple of power supplies for desktop. A wide variety of laptop ac adapters.
- too many cans of compressed air. I am looking into small compressor here.
- Ceramic paste. Paste cleaning solutions etc.
- A couple of CPU fans and heatsinks.
- In the process of building a cheap desktop for tests, scans etc.
- lots of strips for cleaning up the cable clutter.
Software:
- Got a copy of XP home, but no computer yet. ( Windows 7 when it's released)
- AVG, Spybot-SD.
- Need a good disk imaging program. I could probably use a good/better anti-virus app as well together with a spyware/malware scanner.
What does the forum say?
