There are special tools for removing molex and ATX pins; but even with the tool the ATX pins are still a pain.

Just take a small screwdriver and pry the prongs back out. When you remove them you push the pins in some so they don't catch in the socket as well. Just pry them out a bit before putting the pins back in.

Wow... you guys have been busy.



Perhaps it is the masochist in me, but I also find the tedium of sleeving to be quite enjoyable.

Also, for the heat-shrink: One of those cheapo torch-lighters from "Quick-E Mart" will do quite well (but it may not last long), and is much easier than using a regular lighter as one can direct the flame downward.

A utility knife blade also works well.

I've been playing for 3 or 4 years exactly now, I can't remember which though..

I'm pretty average, I never practiced for a year. (Bad Brutuz!)

I prefer an exacto knife because of it's small tip. And rado, it's not because of the effort of doing it, it's because of the cost and that I don't have a big desire to do so.
