It died on me today
Symptoms - when I power it on, it power on, but quickly turn off. So some voltages or at least spikes of them are out of limit, I quess...
I use this mobo as fanless server that run 24/7 and folding + downloading + P2P sharing machine. I invented it back in late 2003, as you can check there:

And some more pictures of building this fanless computer are there:

Yet after about 16 months my first moded fanless PSU died, so I made another design, much better, the heatsink is hardly warm, etc. All in the galery linked before... Now I use better PSU and by checking it, the caps seems to be fine, no burnout, no smell, nothing...
Anyway, I inspected the mobo and - on the very first sight:
These G-LUXONS are gone by...
The mobo use G-LUXONS everywhere, except the Vcore caps:
Rest is, as I said, G-LUXONS:
The overal mobo design aren't bad, tough it probably won't withstand todays 30 - 32°C in my room - running fanless...
Tough on second hand, since the died caps are so close to the PSU connector, a slight suspiction that the PSU generate excess ripple is there...!
So, what do you guys think?
Luckily, I got all the caps need for this one, Pannyes, ready:
ECS P6STMT

6x 2200uF 6.3V d10 - P12344-ND
11x 1000uF 6.3V d8 - P12354-ND - 10V!
7x 560uF 6.3V d6 - P12348-ND
6x 120uF 16V d6 - P12922-ND
5x 33uF 16V d4 - P12925-ND - 35V!
1x 22uF 25V d4 - P12927-ND - 50V!
10x 10uF 16V d4 - P11212-ND - FC, 25V!
Caps in the PSU are brand "HEC" - hmmm, never heard about them, yet they are in the warning list of bad brands, damn. But in PSUs one mostly find such crappy ones, so... what do ya guys think? Recap the PSU too?
