I've replaced the through-hole caps on two flaky motherboards and
found the job quick and easy.  Even if the recap failed, the effort
and cost invested was so small (45 minutes / $10) I would shrug it off
without too much trouble.

If someone was considering replacing the caps on a their motherboard,
I wouldn't discourage them.
