    Recapping a NeXT Cube

    Thanks! I guess, it is the more heat that worries me as everything just lifted from 330C heat (though it could be counter-intuitive to me). I think reflowing is a great idea. I plan to redo all of the caps, but the first went so poorly, I've stopped there. The through holes should be straight...

At least with the cube, I can put the motherboard in any slot to make room (just have to get different drive cables to reach...
