You don't need a soldering iron if you're just going to do PC repair. The wires are simply too small to work with by hand now. If something goes bad, you generally have to replace it because there is no way to fix it. If you're modding, I suggest you just pick one up from RadioShack or some other hobby store.

Pick up a soldering iron or the dremel. Doesnt it say it have a soldering iron in that kit? And i can use it for stuff on really old comps if i need. I wouldnt mind having one anyway. I was going to use it atleast for modifying other electronics like rewireing small boards from like led screens, or other odd electronics i wanted to add like stuff to make the front door of the case open and close on its own threw the computer maybe and other odd mods(i have a very broad interest in electroinics and i want to try to get to make mods like that for a local computer store or something and sell very specially moded systems.), and if i wanted to modify any really old computers or motherboards. Can you get a dremel that make screw holes in aluminum? and how much do dremels cost? And talking of broad interest, What of this kit is good for the other side or repair. Namely tvs, vcrs, dvds, etc, new and old. I still have a thing for the stuff that was around when i was young and would like the tools to do stuff with them, and i like to meld old and new stuff.
But, yea, i really like that kit. I think i can afford to get it and a dremel if i can get a good enough one for around 50 dollars.
Edit: Do you think one of these is worth getting?
