Help with performa 6300cd

Something like this should be enough :
I normally recommend ones with switches, but the 6300 is new enough that one of these should be fine.
With switches :

I'm not even sure what "era" to call it (or if it even can be categorized like that), but at a certain point, most PowerPC Macs started to have multi-sync on-board video hardware, and will output all VGA+ standards and refresh rates. I want to say all post-x100 PowerMacs, but I can't speak to the lower spec Performas/LCs.
Of course, higher tier Apple models (e.g. 9500 et 9600) had PCI video only. The only thing lacking on those cards (e.g. iX Micro TwinTurbo) is a, SVGA-style connector (the clones which were bundled with PCI video cards would have both), but should output the same signals.
I personally don't mind having an adapter, but no need to get one of the DIP adapters (yeah, I know there's a switch on this, but it's not a DIP array...)
The footprint is small, and it also works a treat with my Quadras.

It was even further back, during the Quadra / Centris era I think. The last of the 68k macs will happily drive most monitors with a minimal adapter. I'm also not certain exactly when the change happened.
My Centris 650 happily drives a multiscan monitor with one of the minimal, switchless adapters.
Yeah, they can glitch in System 7.1 though, and get stuck on Sync on Green, which puts a colour cast on the video on some monitors. I think the issue goes away in newer systems. I feel like they were designed to do it, but there is a minor bug.
Huh, good to know!
Yeah, that will work. Try it on the top setting first.
Yeah, but they should be available on the VGA option, it's mislabelled.
The other options are mac monitor modes.
I decided to take the logic board out and investigate the caps. Don't look bad but the SMD electrolytics need replacing...any recommendations on what to replace them with? Here's a picture and a list.
