I was just reading through Yahoo and saw this article about Dell.
"Dell appears to have suffered from the bad capacitors, made by a company called Nichicon, far more than its rivals"
"A study by Dell found that OptiPlex computers affected by the bad capacitors were expected to cause problems up to 97 percent of the time over a three-year period, according to the lawsuit."

Could this apply to audiophile equipment also? While I realize that amps/dacs/etc don't run as much as computers, could this be an issue in future years after years of use?
Thought it was interesting. Caps were also affecting HP and Apple, apparently.
