[gottcha]

Well after looking around. I found a new board for 60 bucks on new egg and he decided to go that route. The bad caps board will sit for a while and i might put it together later.

Thanks for all the info guys!!

I got 20 1500uf 6.3v caps from ebay for $10.99 shipped. Only needed 10 of them, but i wanted a few extra incase i made some mistakes.

Luckily no mistakes, so i've got 10 left.

Probably could of get them cheaper, but i was a little lazy in looking for em.

Thanks...

Well it seems to be doing good. Where before it would either not boot or crash after 5-15 min, it ran for over 4 hours last night running virus and malware scanners last night without any problems.

capwork can be really rewarding

I was successful with one out of two cap jobs. The first one I did, I did correctly, but after a single boot, the motherboard would no longer turn on. The second one worked well after the cap replacement, and sold it on CL.

Great job on the cap replacement.
