Other than slamming Dell did you have a point?

BTW, Dell is replacing the system boards with bad caps as they turn
up. call them and out comes a tech with a new system board. On the
other hand Abit also had that problem a couple of years back and
charged $25 plus shipping.

Bad wall warts are nothing new.

The capacitor problem occurred a few years ago when an Asian company
tried to copy the chemical formula for the electrolytic paste used by a
well known capacitor manufacturer. They got the formula wrong and made
millions of bad capacitors which were used in computers and other
equipment. I have a motherboard which has some leaking/bulging
electrolytics. I expect it will work fine again, if/when I get around to
changing them. But by then, it will be obsolete. :-)
