Wow! Thanks for all the input, I knew if I put the question here I'd get some good feedback. I appreciate the suggestion @mariushm, and in this case I actually DO NEED the 4 GigE ports, low power and small form factor.

Hi All

Does anyone know if Supermicro motherboards use good quality caps?

The Supermicro section seemed to be very light on posts, and the ones that were there were old which I assume is a good sign.

Thanks in advance.

Do SuperMicro Boards use good quality caps?

Hi All

I guess this is my first post. I've been reading this forum from time to time for several years... It helped me fix 2 monitors and and an old DVD recorder. In 2 of the 3 cases I found an exact answer including part numbers for replacements.

I was hoping that someone could tell me if Supermicro motherboards are good quality? The supermicro section seemed to be very light on posts, and the ones that were there were old which I assume is a good sign.
