Re: lol
I hate the OptiPlex GX270s, every last one of 'em. Capacitor Plague is never-ending, seriously. I've replaced a good 20 or so of 'em on assorted motherboards as well as other electrical components (power supplies, very specific/specialized DSP cards, e.t.c.), and whomsoever's idea it was to fiddle with the electrolyte chemistry should be stoned mercilessly with the thousands of popped capacitors they're responsible for.
Solid state FTW.

| We could stone them to death like in the old days, but instead of using stones we could pelt them with capacitors. I don't know if it would work to well though because I don't think the capacitors weigh enough. Might could cover them with dump truck loads of capacitors until they were buried under a mound of them. It might suffocate them sooner or later.
On the bright side, I did get a lot of nice equipment for free that with a couple of bucks and a few minutes of my time worked perfectly again. |

| Oh, I'm sure there are more than enough bad/popped capacitors out there to crush a man or two. Seriously. Some days, I honestly wonder what kind of lack of all engineering sense led them to build such terrible capacitors; something so simple and taken-for-granted crippling the most otherwise complicated ICs... ::sigh::
