Hardware Tips
Let's face it: When it comes to upkeep, a PC is no toaster. Making sure your PC stays happy and healthy requires work: periodic maintenance, timely upgrades, and the occasional bout of troubleshooting. Unless you're lucky enough to have an army of highly trained IT professionals (or maybe just an engineer brother-in-law) at your disposal, you'll be the person performing at least some of these tasks.
Fortunately, with a little effort and the right tools, PC maintenance and repair are easy for most people. And getting the right tools doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg; some you already have, and others are inexpensive. Here are the tools I recommend you keep on hand.
