Actually it looks like I'm just going to be replacing those.

My hands are just too shaky and I'll be lucky to finish even them.

Wonder if that's what's going on with my QS '02.  I also have a 1.8GHz G4 upgrade in it, all was well with the original 933MHz CPU but mine shuts off in OS9 rather than OSX, and only at certain times - in Quake III...for example.  I start a game and boom, powers down instantly.  Guess I will be checking my PSU caps.  Keep us posted with your results.

Will do.

Had to defer to my dad on the soldering so it'll be a few days before I get it back.

While I managed to get the caps soldered in the joints were messy and my hands are just too unstable to fix it.

I figured it was best to quit while I was ahead and before I ended up doing some damage somewhere.

At least it gives me time to get the rest of the case cleaned up.

So far so good...

I ran gzip -9 on /dev/random for like 5 minutes and it didn't shut itself off so now I'm confident enough to start putting it back together.
