His post and opinions stated above clearly say that people are somewhat used to the idea that computers won't last.
With opinions like these it is no wonder the computer companies don't pay attention to the caps issues. Why they should? If the mobo die, user have to buy a new one - good for bussines - bad for user...
I dont really blame the MB manufacturer (Giga-byte 8IHXP). it was a really great MB while it lasted. i ran seti@home 24/7 for about 3 years on it. that is what i think killed it. sure it could have used better caps, but i never let it rest either (except for turning it off occasionally while i was on vacation).
