Anything that has Capacitors in it which use wet electrolytic, can dry out with age. Old stereos that crackle when you turn up the volume are an example. In motherboards though it seems it's more a problem that capacitors blow up and bulge out which is probably from usage rather than idle age.
speaking as a hardware man, these components are easily replaced... in many cases, if the board's traces are damaged, they, too, can be repaired... i am still replacing capacitors on boards from that old problem where capacitors were purchased from manufacturers that fell to the capacitor espionage situation of some, what?, 15 years ago?
