One thing that disturbs me about Loyd is that he uses a MAGNETIC POWERED screwdriver! As any electronics professional will tell you, magnets near sensative electronics is real bad carma! You run the risk of inducing an electric spike by simply moving your magnetic tools near the sensative components which can in turn can induce voltage spikes. Maybe not a static shock discharge but "bad" non-the-less! I'd suggest a simple non-magnetic screwdriver that is resistant to magnetic fields and definately non-electric! Loyd may know better but he is demonstrating a potential bad habit to newbies thinking magneticly powered tools are OK becasue Loyd uses them, and he's a "professional." (Would you use a soldering gun or soldering iron? A "pro" would know and it's along that same logical thinking.)

I agree with "anonymous'" post. To add just a bit more, where is the static protection? Also newbies should know about the pro's and con's of using metal anchors vs plastic (grounding and motherboard noise). etc... If you are going to produce this, than doing it correctly and completely is the best way.
