Well, I specced out replacement/upgrade parts as costing several hundred dollars and a lot of time reinstalling the OS, restoring from backup, etc. I've done this sort of hardware work before and am familiar with the risks so this was actually the path of least resistance. I've got a major PC upgrade planned for this winter so I just need the system to live until that goes through. I've had no BSOD/crashes/spontaneous reboots since I did the capacitor swap, so I consider it a success.
