I've had a couple of NVidia cards that have gone bad due to bad
capacitors, and more recently a power supply which actually went "Pop"
as a capacitor exploded so you can often see split cans just by looking
at the board. Of course NVidia don't actually make the cards, I think
one was a BFG, the other I can't recall.
