Note: The "Recapped" column refers to motherboards on which I have replaced the capacitors,

Boards manufactureds with dates around 1994 and 2005 had issues with faulty capacitors and poor quality control, and will need their capacitors replacing in the near future.

Failure to replace them will likely end with either corrosion or explosion, so I plan to re-cap them all as and when I have time and the parts.
