You can do capacitor repair easily enough with just a soldering iron. I have
reworked dozens of mac and PC motherboards over the years (and a few video
cards).
I suspect real hard SMD work (video chips and southbridges) might be
popular down the road to collectors.

I guess a lot more classic computer enthusiasts will be doing SMD work for
repair in the future as "vintage computing" starts to encompasses machines
from the 1990s.
