I'm surprised you don't buy and furnish the caps yourself.  That way you know that good caps are going on the motherboards.  You might receive some questionable caps and it would be a shame to waste your work with inferior components.

The MacCaps guy, Charles I think offers different grades, up to tantilum.
As I am just a bit south of you I would rather send my boards up the street than cross country

Have room to take a few more boards in this month after a couple other orders need some parts on backorder are waiting. PM with details and I can get you a price. Average is $50-60 so far.

Do you have a PSU you can use on an A2000?

[QuikSanz]

PM sent..

That backplane looks a bit bent. No doubt from pushing in cables.

[QuikSanz]

Don't think I asked but how much for an A2000 using good caps where you can, non electrolytic?

[QuikSanz]

@Mechy

Yes! This is what I was thinking.

[QuikSanz]

Ah, I use hybrids. They last nearly forever and wont leak for a long long time!

Ahh, Works for me. Don't want to do it again in my lifetime.

Another thing: Are you sure this fan is really necessary? If (or maybe when) I decide about my PSU modification, I would do it without fan.

Once all the excess wire is removed and the PSU guts are in there, it will probably be a good thing to have that small fan. Especially in Southern California.

@Acill,

Pgovotsos is correct. Maybe see if you can get the parts in bulk for less and for gods sake you are worth more than $25/Hr.
Keep up the good work!
