These time-bombs were a perfect way to permanently slow down a PC. After several months to a year, those caps would bulge and the system slow down to a crawl and start to get crashy. I say time-bomb because I always thought of it (and still do) as the perfect built-in failure. After the year manufacturer warranty was up; buy a new one. Don't dare try and swap out a motherboard from underneath the operating system, unless you wanted to buy a new license or run a crack. Not good situation at all for the independent servicers.
