Sounds good.

(JS popup, so I can't link to the actual page -- it's the Abit BP6 link, the 
first one.)

Page claims:

	12	1500uF	10v	8mm
	12	1000uF	10v	8mm
	1	470uF	16v	8mm

	The 470uF caps is for the EC10 mod, replacing the 100uF cap.

*profanity*

My 370DLE is listed.  I've had it for years and it seems fine.  I think I 
remember looking at the mainboard to see if I saw any obviously leaky or 
bulging caps and it looked okay...
