The board came out to be about 7lbs with everything except the four remaining victors. The kids were half way through finishing the wiring up for those on tuesday and should finish tonight. If they do, I will post another picture.

This is what we did. We shortened the fan wires, and rotated the fans so that the wires go directly down to the power inputs to the victors. It is way easier and makes things much cleaner.

I have never had this happen to any fan on any machine I have ran in the past four years. Was there any specific circumstances that caused these failures?
