What plugs should I unplug when upgrading parts on a PC?

Some people say people who open the case for upgrading parts or cleaning should unplug the power cable, mouse, keyboard, monitor, network cable, and every cable connected to the computer's motherboard and case, but some computers have a lot of things plug into it and it take a long time for some people to replug the plugs into the computer again.

Main one is power,

but it's recommended to unplug everything though

Unplug everything if you plan to move the case to blow dust out it, or replace anything inside. It takes much less time to unplug and replug than it does to replace broken parts when you jerk a cable and drop your PC.

thanks for the tips.

It's probably not neccessary to unplug the cables inside the case like that big PSU cable with 20-24 plugs on it, and varies molex and sata power plugs, I guest.
