I loved this machine, built it by hand and used it hard for a couple of years. Suddenly it started to frustrate me with random reboots and problems getting past the bios screen before shutting down. At the same time I sold my house and moved a couple of states over and used home sale proceeds to buy a great lappytop that I've used ever since. The poor tower sat back in the office, declared deceased for more than 18 months, until I decided yesterday to tear it down. What I discovered, (I was shocked and excited all at once) was half a dozen bulging capacitors! I've been in electronics for years, and I've only ever seen a handful of blown caps. My first google search brought me to your site, and I have to say that I'm stoked to regain some hope in my old trusty workhorse.
Hold on bessie, I'm comin' fer ya!
