like the title says, i'm fixing my friends pc. what started as a dvd-rw upgrade, ended up costing him 175 dollars in a new motherboard and cpu. went to install the dvd-rw and things were not going according to plan, and i realized that two of his capacitors were blown up. called up my boss and he said that he would be able to replace them for 30 bucks, when he normally charges 75$. so i was like the hell with it we ordered whats here http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=518813
got in today. (We got pwned by not having 4 standoffs but not an issue)
ANYWAY
also realized that one of his capacitors on his video card might be going, and when i was trying to do a windows install, it wouldn't go if there was no fan on the graphics card (Fx5200)
MY question, after a long and pointless post, how hard is it to replace these capacitors, is it a two second job? cuz i rather not pay my boss 30 bucks just to redo something that i know takes him 5min to do. If im lucky my co-worker will do it for me when my boss has his head turned =P.

the one to the left.(graphics card)
this is kinda obvious but this is the motherboard.
