Going to endeavor into replacing a few capacitors, on a computer motherboard.

But need some insight to guide myself which capacitors to get.

This is going to be more of an experimental thing, considering it's a Pentium 4 motherboard, but hey, old computers are fun to play with!
And to keep myself busy during my Spring Break..

Took a few snaps of the ones I'm working with.

Ideally, I'm going to be replacing all the ones that look bad to ME, so ~16 caps in total.
Probably going to stray away from Radioshack because of the cost..

So what's the rule, higher uF, same voltage, or...?
