You can also use 105 degree replacement SMD electrolytics. They won't last forever, but they will have a significantly extended lifetime in a computer environment. If you buy SMD electrolytics, do yourself a favor and buy Nichicon, because other manufacturers have proven themselves to have poor quality control on the SMD types. -- Ryan Underwood, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
