How is that out of date? Also, it would probably have been more appropriate to create a new topic for this concern.

The photos are out of date and is it really necessary to get all of those tools?

The images worked well enough for me when cleaning out my computer just a couple months ago. Whether "all" those tools are necessary depends on who's doing the cleaning, and the tutorial does say that some of them are optional. I used most of them, including the wrist strap. For me, that's a real necessity given how I tend to build up electric charge without doing anything.

And it is for a desktop computer, not a laptop.

I simply use a paint brush, screw driver and a hair dryer to clean up computers, i didn't need any of those things but doesn't really matter now. But i still reckon the pictures are in need of a touch up :whistle:

I think they are ok. For the normall run of the mill computer user they might be a bit confusing but they should be able to figure it out. If not then they can post a topic in the forums to ask for help and as everyone here should know it will get them prompt help with it and then boom issue solved that is what the forums are for. :)

Hey Killer that is either BC file server #1 or Andrew's system.

Not a single integrated card in the case.
Just as it should be!
In the beginning there was the command line.
