Hi,
I'm ready to transfer my components from one case to another, is there any things i should have handy? Such as idk, screwdrives, special items or something. Thanks
 
well i can think of off the top of my head a screwdriver and if your taking the heatsink off the motherboard some thermal goop
 
Just make sure you've got a screwdriver, and whatever screws or standoffs you might need. If you intend to do some cable management as well, then some zip-ties would come in handy.
 
needlenose pliers, they help greatly for hooking up those front panel connectors, especially if you have space restrictions. Also useful for lian-li standoffs.

tiny flashlight, so you can keep it in your mouth, leaving both hands free.

flush cutters for zip-ties...no protruding strap means less chance of getting cut on them.

old credit card for applying heatsink compound. optionally mod a plastic playing card into a jig for applying consistant amounts of compound.
 
Magnetic screw driver
Thermal Paste (if you need to reapply)
Flash light
Patience
Mobo manual
Tape/zip ties (might as well do some cable management while your at it)
Bawls/Coke/Root Beer/Pizza
