A couple cans of compressed air, a spare working IDE cable or two, a
small mirror (trust me), a magnetic pick up tool (I have dropped *lots*
of screws into cases and tight places on mb's), and a spare working ps2
powersupply. Those things will take care of 90% of every service call
you get. Now if you really want to get fancy, get a small multimeter, a
small assortment of different fans (Pentium,video,amd-duron, etc.) Carry
a spare PCI video card, usb mouse (with ps2 adapter), ps2 keyboard, add
in a nice pair of pliers (and power screwdriver) and start making backup
copies of the drivers the computers you run into on a typical basis use.
