Fortunately, there are only one dual cap or two single caps, and these are in the primary (converter) section. Sadly, they're usually 105 degree C rated, and most replacements are only 85 degree C rated. The caps in the secondary (inverter) side are special low ESR type, and these seldom fail. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
