alright so my dad got me a computer lot for $10 at a garage sale a while ago now and it had a hp compaq d530 sff in it everything worked but the mobo,
most of the caps were leaking looking and 2 so bad they had rust spewing out
and a solid cap that looks like it was leaking on the top or another cap got its juices on it, the mobo boots but no post, right now its kinda parted out
but about 4 of these caps I can only find solid's and i dont think the ones on it are solid can I replace non solid caps with solid caps? these caps are to the left of the cpu lil short purple ones 820uf 2.5v what if i run into more that i can only find solid? and would it be worth it to make all the caps near the cpu solid?
I do plan on fitting some nice fans and a diff cpu cooler to get the heat out as it failed to do b4 (I hear sff run really hot esp these P4 boards)
about all caps need replacing.. umm
this will be my first time replacing caps on a board
overall question can I replace electrolytic caps with solid alum caps?
without it being a issue?

this is a pic I got off the net to mark what caps are what.
