I have two of these VH6-II motherboards, and both had shown leaking caps of the same spec: 2200uF @ 6.3v. Fortunately, only three of them are bad. 
The 1500uF Jackson caps that typically go bad are showing no signs of failure after 4 years. This board came in at the latter end of the bad cap fiasco, so perhaps I've a good batch.
The information on this site was invaluable in helping me replace the bad caps. As you can see from the pics however, I failed to appreciate the metric system before I ordered my caps. 12.5 in an 8mm space is not a good idea as you can see from the photo of the cap that doesn't have enough clearance. (I'm thinking I can push the cap in under one of the coils, because they don't seem to get hot, or even warm for that matter.)
I replaced all three caps with Nichicon 2200uF @ 10v caps because I plan to upgrade from a 400@450 celeron to a 933Mhz P-III, and I'd read that the 6.3v caps don't hold up to the pressure from the more powerful CPU. The effects of moving to the better caps were immediately evident in the voltage numbers displayed in the pic of my BIOS screen. I've never seen those kinds of numbers with that PS (300-watt Antec) before, so I'm very pleased with the results.
Not in any of the pictures is the second degree burn I got on one of my fingers. Be careful with those 40-watt soldering irons dudes...
