| still I need to order parts...imagine spending half a year without your computer. First, my card broke down. Then it took a month to take it in, then another month for repairs, and then a long arse time to order parts, so now it's half a year. gaAaaaaAaAAaaaAAAAArrrgh. I steel need to order water cooling. |

Well it's safe to screw in a mobo with a magnetized one, just don't go near the bios chip, I think it's the only thing that can be easly messed up with magnets. In fact, I've used a power drill multiple times for PC-related screwing needs. Those stupid CD-ROM screws stripping, especially.  I even had to grind screws off once. |

| phoo! I bought a good unmagnetized driver for the mobo sepcifically. lucky that, mate.  |

| Does it work? I don't think magnetic screw drivers are powerful enough to damage a hard disk because hard disks are pretty well shielded. I magnetized my screw drivers with somewhat 12 volts and about 300 turns, made them real powerful, and still, no damage to any hardware since I use them. You just want to stay away from he bios chip with those. |

I accidentally used slightly magnectic screwdrivers . They're so weak you normally wouldn't know, but I left it on my workshop table near some screws while I went to go to my Uncle's birthday party. I was trashed, got better by morning, and am now fully recovered after another sleep and castor oil. So I went to screw in some more drives, and then I noticed that there was a slight attraxtion between a screw and the tip of the driver.  So now I'm crapping my pants, wondering if my hard disk will be irreperable.  |
