Here is a good site for the people not familiar with the blown capacitor problem
http://www.badcaps.com/
As to the question tho, I had a mobo just die on me about 2 months ago. I got lucky in that the bad caps just killed my agp slot (vid card that was in there is still working tho), so I was able to continue using my pc with a crappy pci video card that I had lying around.
