   You shouldn't have to recap anything on the motherboard. Inside the PSU the   
   Dreaded RIFA capacitors will blow eventually. Not all GS PSU have RIFA filter   
   capacitors though. They are half inch long rectangles near the AC input lines.   
   If they look like    
   clear epoxy on the outside, and they are cracked,  delete them immediately.    
      
   There is a debate about whether you really need to replace them or not. New   
   ones are cheap. But the power supply will work without them at the cost of   
   more electrical noise, and maybe making the rest of the PSU more susceptible   
   to line noise coming in.   
      
   The other capacitor that died on me (but on only one PSU) is a 220 mF in the   
   middle of the circuit board. That was a standard electrolytic, and it was   
   obviously dead. The label was just sitting there and goo had leaked out. A   
   good clean up and    
   replacement and it worked fine.    
      
   Youtube has several videos about recapping things, don't get too carried away.   
   The little .47 uf surface mount electrolytic capacitors used on many old macs   
   are very problematic now. The radial and axial capacitors used on Apple II's   
   seem to be more    
   robust.    
      
   But the RIFA caps will die, and it stinks to high heaven when they do. And   
   they make a mess.
