sahara boards in bookpc's

[kc8adu]

found the typical iq crap caps bad.
the lettering reminds me of asus but not sure.
to put real caps in these you have to lay down the ones under the psu to clear.
to get the clearance needed the stock caps there were standard miniature types and not low esr!

Blowing the dust off thread and just for reference purps.

Sahara is a FIC board.

From and through roughly i810(440BX?) to i845(i865?) FIC made maybe a dozen mini-book PC's mostly sold as DIY bare-bones systems.
-
Some used proprietary MoBos. Others didn't.
They didn't market them well so they never became very well known or popular.

I have a Sahara I never did anything much with. Was missing a proprietary drive cable and mount and it took me 6 months to get the rest of the parts out of them. (Not FIC, the retailer.) - By then I'd lost interest in the project.
