Re: 2007 Dell XPS 410/9200 with Bad Caps
Ok, after weeks of practicing desoldering with sucker-braid-needle unsuccessfully, I'm thinking of going for this:

I'm pretty sure this will get the job done fast and with little or no skills needed. My only question is...am I better off spending $89 for this or buying a new motherboard, case, cpu cooler, and a new operating system all for just under $250? With a new LGA775 mobo, I can still salvage the cpu, ram, power supply and hard/optical drives from the old PC.
If I choose to recap, it will certainly save me $250 in the short term. But will it save me the time and aggravation if something else would fail?
