I should chime in here; I've had two different systems where I had to have them recapped.
First one, I think was manufactured right around the time where a lot of companies were using crappy capacitors. I was shocked that one of my Asus systems were, but it wasn't one of their high quality motherboards, it was a system that I had bought called The Asus Digimatrix. Was the perfect size for an HTPC. Well, it started acting funky, I took at look at the board and the capacitors were bulging all over the place. It was still under warranty at that point, so I sent it in for repair.
Freaking jerks replaced them with the EXACT same capacitors, because about 9 months later, they started to explode again. Had to pay 60 bucks for them to fix it. About a year after that, it did it a third time, in which I basically said screw it, did it myself with better capacitors. Unfortunately my crap solder job somehow fried the wireless (I think I applied too much heat somewhere, not sure) but I didn't really care, didn't use it anyhow
So when I was troubleshooting my A4000D and trying to figure out why I would randomly get Software Error #80000003 all the time, someone suggested that I get it recapped. I can't recall how much it was overall (about 100 bucks, I think) to ship it off to Amigakit and have them recap it.
It's been running like a champ ever since, well not counting my own stupidity of trying to add more crap to it
