Barricuda can taste good, but they are a bitch to bone and clean - bony fish, use to catch them off shore in Antigua, faster buggers,when they hit, it is fast and hard and unexpected, they dont nibble, they take it all or nothing, even a small 3ft barricuda give a heck of a fight!

Sometimes it has to do with heat, if they get to hot the fluid might "boil" and then the capacitator starts to bloom.
You are not alone in the world with this problem, some ASUS and EPoX boards, and a few other brands, have had this problem aswell before. I had an AOpen which did this...

Is this something I should actualy worry about or will the MB be ok, will anything get ruined if I just leave those the way they are now? I am not too sure what those capasitoars are for any way... The Gigabyte manufacturer website sais nothing about them.

It's not a good sign at all to have those caps leaking. Your motherboard is on its way out.

I believe those capacitors make sure that the dc power provided by the power supply is clean. (someone correct me if I am wrong). If the caps start leaking like yours are the caps are not doing there job of keeping the power clean and ripple free. Your cpu, memory and just about every thing that is plugged into your motherboard is at risk of being damaged by dirty power.

It is possible to replace the caps your self if you have very good soldering skills, the tools and a steady hand. If not your best bet is to replace that motherboard before any further damage is done to other components like your cpu, memory, video card, hard drive.

You know what HH? I wish I did man. Kinda funny story. I chartered this boat down in Key West 4 years ago, and they promised BIG fish, and said I could have a taxidermist take care of it down there and ship it up to me (Conn.) So I caught this this thing...its 50 inches from its nose to the tip of its tail, and he says it'll be around $350-$400. So i'm like, cool, do it up. They put it right on ice and used some silicone spray right there on the boat and sent it out as soon as we got back to shore. I gave them a $200 deposit, and they said I pay for the rest upon its completion. So i'm waiting, they send me a flyer with all the wall mounts and shit, which were outrageously priced. So I called em and told em I didnt need a wood plate for it (I could easily make my own, yeah, i'll get to it someday lol) and they said they'd do it without a backplate, and they'd have a bracket on the back so I could hang it. They did a great job with the thing i'll admit, but when all was said and done, it cost just shy of $1000. They charged me a $150 crating fee, to put it in a cardboard box. The shipping was $250 itself, since they sent it on a freight truck that HAD to have a delivery dock (sent it to work). Needless to say, and to end a long story short (well not that short), after hearing wife bitch about it, I decided that fish is stickin with me for the long haul. It'll be in any Man's Town I take up shop in ;)

Call me a sucker, but I HAVE heard a couple other stories of people fallin for the same thing lol. I did have a blast down there, and it is the biggest fish i've caught yet.
 
You can buy that desk at best buy, at least used to be able to. Anywhere from 99 to 199, depending on where you buy it.
 
My humble corner, there is actually another desk and PC just to the right but it is in a state of transition so you just get my workstation today...

I need a new keyboard, this one is noisy, otherwise I am somewhat content at the moment. But that should last oh... not long.

Made some improvements to my cabling but I still see room for more.

How would I replace the caps though? Is there some online guide you know of? And where can I get the caps for them...

You can introduce bacteria growth like that. The proper way to defrost is the fridge.
