Sure, the hornets can take on a honeybee nest, but they're no match for a nuclear bomb...

Actually, most of the caps have already leaked the electrolytic fluid from the top...the motherboard is still running fine...although I should really get those caps replaced. I have a (slightly inferior) backup motherboard so I'm not in dire threat of having my computing eliminated or anything.

I'm actually trying to save up to buy brand new top of the line components to replace ALL my hardware, sans the mouse and my l337 fUNC mousepad. Ya know...I'm a little paranoid, I don't really want the hardware from my current rig kinda like..."spreading their diseases (if any)"...

I keep my PC without the side panel on my desk, two feet from my face...The capacitors do seem to be swelling and bulging on my Epox 8RDA+, and they might blow any time soon. If a capacitor decides to blow, is there a chance it could splash hot acidic electrolytic fluid onto my face and scar me for life? Gosh, I feel like an Indian woman...
