it should get married to the IIci that won't stay awake past the spin
up. maybe the second mac is depressd, and just sees no reason  to go on,
while the wide awake mac has energy enough for two. maybe it can cheer
up the depressed one! 
maybe the one that likes to sing to itself in the middle of the night
has bipolar disorder and it's cycling into its manic phase. maybe it
needs some mac Depakote.  Maybe it's become a vampire mac and has joined
the undead! maybe it's become a zombie and is rising from the dead to
answer its master's call!

maybe these three motherboards need to get together and trade parts,
until their respective  weirdnesses balance each other out. maybe the
one whose caps need replaced has parts that would fix the wide awake one
and the depressed one. >>

I think you have hit on the solution.  I'm the guy with the IIci that 
spontaneously started in the middle of the night after being idle for months. 
 Definitely group therapy is in order.  This group of IIci's sounds like 
something from "A Clockwork Orange"!
