Supposedly the guy that does the repairs told him that many of Abits, Asus, MSI, Intel, Compaq, IBM, and other MBs have the bad caps but they won't replaced them till failure occurs. He found the info about the caps while browsing the web. This was about 5 months ago now. There was a list of manufacturers that purchased caps during the timeframe. I think there was also a part number on them. Don't quote me on that though. One thing I do remember is that the excessive h2o in the caps causes them to bubble-up on top. He looked at his MBs and found a few that were not flat, but not exremely domed either.
