AntiVir = Good AV solution (http://www.free-av.com/)

I picked up a bundle of anti static wrist straps from ebay when i needed to hand them out to a class load of peeps and would suggest that some of the other bits you require could be found there (set of precision screwdrivers is always handy)

quick check on Amazon found something like this (http://www.amazon.com/23-Piece-Computer-Tool-Kit/dp/tech-data/B000BSJCTQ/ref=de_a_smtd) which will have some handy bits in and looks like it may even have the antistatic strap

anyway hope that helps some
