I had a series of ABIT boards succumb to the cap popping problem. Some were under warranty, some weren't. I had different experiences with additional component failure. 2 took the CPU with them. A couple took RAM. One blew a video card. But for the most part they just cracked, bulged or litterally blew the case off the cap. The noise of that experience was akin to a small firearm going off inside the Computer case. Quite frightening for the little marketing weenie that was using the machine.
