Dimension 8400...uh oh bad caps

So...I'm workin on my cousin's machine, the hdd died, and I'm looking at the motherboard and see the bad caps that plagued the Optiplex GX270 and GX280 models. Now this machine is out of warranty now. However I'm also aware that Dell has extended the warranties on these due to these bad caps...so, will Dell be doing the same for the 8400? I have several swollen caps and don't want to be forced to pay for something that I did not break.

    It may be easier to buy a new Dell OEM Dimension 8400, motherboard for $42.00 from here,

    Your best bet is to call and ask - it's on a case by case basis.
