After reading about how to replace the caps on BP6's I'm wondering if it's worth trying to recover my BX133-raid, it's dead as 9 of the caps blew ... everything that was in the pc at the time that I could check was still good (the CPU is the only thing I couldn’t check) but i never discovered what caused the problem. I suspect my housemate filing some metal parts near to my pc cause it but i cannot be sure.
Do you good people think that it's worth replacing the caps to see if the board is recoverable, or is leaving it dead like it has been for the last 12 months the best line of action?

Been searching the site for guides of how to replace your caps and I've not been able to find any ... I'm pretty sure how to do it but if there is a guide then that would be useful.
And I'm in the UK so maplin's http://www.maplin.co.uk/ is a good place to get the equipment ... but I cannot see the needed caps if I am going to do this, and can one help me see them
