I just bought (via Internet) and installed said video card. The vendor picture didn't show them, but when I got it, I saw all these green and gold capacitors and I thought "Oh, no!" Yep, it has seven 1000µf, 6.3v Teapos on it. If this thing ever gives me any grief, guess what I will check first. BFG provides a lifetime warranty, but recapping would be cheaper than shipping it to them for repair.

Be glad they're Teapo. Teapo usually don't fail as nastily as others. -
