Where did you get your connector kit from, and does it have the proper tool for fan pins?

You have some great hardware there cwestwell, can't wait to see more pics of your build as you go along.
NWT is not that expensive, compared to Vancouver or some place's in AB.

I have just finished using the Sunbeam connector removal kit and holy crap it is great.....I was able to take my fan connectors off install heat shrink and shroud then but the connectors back on in record time...without fear of damage...it was shockingly easy

This product though very simple is a must have.

I give it a out of a possible five..

the one point is lost for lack of carrying case or storage device of any kind to keep the tools from getting damaged.

Anyway back to building.
