The version 3 Zymeta shipped with a ASUS A7N8X-VM400 motherboard. I have discovered there are two different revisions of this board, one of which is prone to blown caps.
This sticker, located on the top of the parallel port, distinguishes between the two.
GOOD ONEThis is the rev that used Nichicon, TMZ and a few KZE caps. I don't believe I have seen any of this rev with blown caps.

BAD ONENotice it says TVOUT near the end of the model sticker.
This is the rev that used all KZE/KZG caps. Most of the 3300uF caps blow, as well as some 1000uF caps. Regardless, there are 26 capacitors that should be replaced.
