Can anyone suggest a good set of screwdrivers meant for computer / electronics repair? Preferable name brand, high quality.
 
What specific types of screwdrivers do you need?

Virtually any name-brand screwdriver with a limited lifetime warranty would be good enough.

I've heard stories of Whia making some of the best screwdrivers in the market, but they're comparatively more expensive than what you could find at your local hardware store.
 
I have a set of these:

Especially like the long, thin blades that allow for working in recessed areas or reaching through fan mountings/case parts that have very small holes and for screws that are deeply recessed into the housing; thicker blades often won't reach far enough to access the screws. I use them both for work in instrument repair and here at home to work on electronic devices of all kinds as needed. You should be able to find them locally in your hardware stores. Believe there is also a 9-piece set with addtional tips. I haven't needed more than these 5 for anything so far. If I really need something special I resort to my jewelers screwdrivers but those can run almost $25 each. The General screwdrivers are a nice, cheap substitute. They are about 6 to 9 inches long which gives a nice reach.

Now, if you really want to spend the bucks, here are all the tech/precision screwdrivers you could ever need!

I bought a Rosewill compute repair kit on Newegg for like $15 a few years ago. They've been great.
