Great -- let's hear it for human-repairable.  The real question is, to  
diagnose whether these caps are bad, so as to justify the trouble and danger of  
taking the motherboard out of the case and subjecting it to the desoldering a  
soldering bench.
 
FWIW, I assembled this whole PC from a "kit" consisting of the SB  
motherboard and custom case, plus other parts I ordered myself, all from Tiger,  Inc.  
When finished, I transplanted the HD from my old Win95 machine into  it, and it 
booted right up!
 
Say, anyone remember the DOS command to make a HD bootable?
Thanks, Mike K.
