Through my years of modding and such I have found that a varity of clamps come in real handy. C clamps are ok but adjustable bar clamps are really the shit.

And a tip to the wise..or not so wise...Measure 2, 3, 4, times before you cut! If you are cutting, what is behind your cut? Will it fit, is there clearance for the mod?

You know, I cut this thing twice and it's still too short!

Great advice, I forgot about clamps! I'm used to using mostly C clamps but the giant vise grip type C clamps are much quicker and easier.

I'd also like to suggest that a dental pick or molex removal tool be in the tool kit. Very handy if you don't buy a PSU with pre-sleeved wiring.
