Blown capacitors on a NVIDIA GeForce 7600. The capacitors did their job and vented safely but are no longer useful. Credit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/37prime/ / CC BY-NC-SA 2.0

I had this same card with the same crappy caps in the media pc in my living room. For what ever reason they had the habit of blowing when I was dozing off for a nap. Scared the crap outa me, I would be just about asleep and SNAP! Once all 5 blew the machine died. I ordered some milspec caps digikey for about $3.00, soldered them in and the card has worked flawlessly ever since. It pisses me off that good name brands are putting shitty caps in their otherwise good components.
