OMG it's a noob.
I asked around at Anandtech's forums if what in the picture below is a bad capacitor and what remedies there are for it. Got some good answers and was also referred here. Figured I'd ask again considering the expertise of this forum.
Here's the photo:

The diameter of the hex nut thread is 2mm so the C91/92 caps are probably slightly under 1mm in size. My questions are, 1) How difficult would removing and replacing the cracked cap be & 2) What side effects would there be from removing the cracked one and bridging the connectors with solder? I'm pretty sure having no cap there and having a direct connection would be extremely bad for the motherboard, but what could happen from it? There's no markings I can see on any of them so I'm sure finding a replacement would be damned hard, anyone possibly know what ratings they could be?
