Jim P.Going through some old photos and found this one that may trigger bad memories for anyone who worked on PC hardware in the early 00s.

psfArticles about some unlovely middle-aged-bytes.
Between the #i820, #RDRAM, the first-gen #Pentium4, and the #CapacitorPlague, I'm glad I wasn't yet into system building in the early aughts.
Daniele Verducci 🧉So, it seems my #macintosh LC is not immune to the #capacitorplague 🫤
There is not a lot of corrosion, but the electrolyte is visible. I cleaned it up with vinegar and then isopropyl alcohol to stop the corrosion.
It seems like I'll need to buy a #capacitor kit and have some fun with the soldering iron... 🤷♂️
But now I want to check it it stills boots.

TBH, I think a #CapacitorPlague #Optiplex #GX270 is only worth it's case and 3,5" FDD as well as ODD tray cover for a #SleeperPC #build, given that it's not too #proprietary and can at least fit a #MicroATX mainboard comfortably...

The Most Unwanted, Boring PC: Dell OptiPlex GX270
🇵🇱 Seban/Slight 🇺🇦Time for another quick fix... this time, an old "Mean Well" switching power supply doesn't want to cooperate.
Almost all electrolytic capacitors have failed in this unit. The output filtering capacitors have swollen, and the main capacitor after the bridge is simply open.
CapXon brand capacitors failed to meet their task. To be honest, until now, I thought Mean-Well used higher quality capacitors.

Oh, the horror!! The horrrrror!! 😱💥
This is gonna be a good resolder practice board. :)
