hello, i have a dell D E510 system. and i got it for free and would like to use it as a media server. i love the case design. how ever i dont want to pay the high prices of the boards used which are known to fail again if not used carefully. im wanting to make a youtube video on my channel on how to replace the capacitors for this system. i just have no idea on how to look up capacitor values and where to find them. i know how to desolder compoents of the motherboard but i have not replaced them as yet. looking for some help. much appreciated!

Isn't this a Pentium 4 era machine?

Dell doesn't often make finding (useful) information on repair or modification of their equipment available. It might be worthwhile to hunt around for a Dell enthusiast forum or one of the mod sites.
