Tons of LaserWriters are going to be seeing leaking caps by now.

Does anyone have a list of what post-SMT Apple logic boards do not use electrolytic capacitors? I seem to remember the G4 motherboard only using tantalums. Unfortunately, at least some G5 motherboards use electrolytic SMTs. This may give old G4s unusually long life compared to other machines (and most of these will be pre-MDD due to the MDD's power supply problems).
