Hello jin29_neci,

To tell you the truth replacing the capasitors is a pain in the b*** to change unless you've done it a million times even then if your not paying really close attention its easy to mess up and not know it until you try to boot the machine. ASUS motherboards are pretty though from the use I've had out of them I have one right now thats close to 5 years old and it runs perfectly. I would say go ahead and replace the motherboard. Plus you get a 1 year warranty most of the time.
