That and the screw positions. Why am I working with tweezers to bolt something into a 2’ square box? (Because the same hardware is used in laptops, I know, but ffs just ship with two screw sizes)
Buying a laptop tool set was a lifesaver for me, for weird but useful stuff like “screwdriver with a 10cm long shaft” and “electrician screwdriver” (those ones with a tiny led in them that lights up if there’s power where there shouldn’t be)
I ended up getting an ifixit-style set which helped last time, but I’m also clumsy so I’m constantly dropping screws on top of the motherboard, or under it. Whatever is hardest to get to.
