I had some of these bad capacitors blow in my video card, back in the day. I was extremely proud of myself for managing to order some replacement capacitors and soldering them in myself.

The most impressive part might be that I ordered the right items. I knew nothing about electronics repair at the time, I just wanted to be able to play World of Warcraft again.
