Re: Do I Have Bad Caps?

I'm sure I could do a recap just fine, but I don't really care for this mobo anymore. It was cheap ($35 or something) and I've actually been thinking about getting a new one. I'm probably going to get a DFI. I built a system for a friend with a DFI Lanboy and man that was a nice board. If you want it, I guess I could ship it to you.

Oh well. Now I know they're failing. Gah. How likely are they to ruin my other components while I buy a new mobo?
