I build my own computers. One of my favorite tools is a plastic manicure stick. I use it instead of a flat-head screwdriver. It doesn't conduct electricity. It can't build up a static charge. It won't become magnetized. If it slips, it won't gouge the mobo. I also use the silicone tip like a pencil eraser to remove old thermal grease when replacing a heat sink. Ulta sells packs of 3 for $7.
The one advantage records have over CDs is that you can't brickwall the audio. A well-mastered CD is better than a record. Unfortunately, today's CDs sound like ass.
