If it's known to be the caps, I can repair them if you can't do it
yourself.  I stock many cap values, though some monitor ones (esp the
high voltage side) might require special order.

My mobo cap repair service is really booming.  Seems that now some 2003
boards also have bad caps (I previously thought it limited to
2001-2002):
