[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 899896, member: 176362"] Talking of duff caps. Back in summer 2006 my workplace had its clapped out computer system replaced with a lovely new system. We had around 60 nice hard panel 19" Neovo monitors installed. These had a separate psu - and almost all of them failed in under a year. At one point the bloody things were burning out faster than I could get them replaced under warrenty. I was given strict instructions that all the broken ones were to be returned - so I promptly smashed one open to have a look and sure enough bulging caps all over the power board. Im just a rebel :D The other 200 or so were 17" monitors of a different make and were no trouble at all - many of them are still in use today as secondary monitors for the teachers machines. A few have gone bad with burned out lamps but Ive got plenty of spares stashed away [/QUOTE]
