synaesthesia - welcome here then! You will find many interesting informations there But not at all optimistic, tough.

Easy. Use ONLY hardware with qualite not fake caps, and do not let them overheat.
The catch - you have to go cap by cap and you have to be able to spot/replace fakes. No-one can do it, as they come with more and more fakes each day.
So I recap my HW and that it is. It works

...better avoid this politic jokes there, it might lead where no-one want to be...
This will NOT stop them. It can only slow the death, and not by very much anyway. There are already posted examples with bulging caps that come on right from the store hardware. I think you get the message... Of course old bad caps even not used die also.
Some even explode when used... happen to me. It was LOUD. I lost my hearing for some time...
Do NOT try it at home. If you see bulging cap, power off the machine now and never start it, till replaced. You can seriously hurt your ears or get shoot my the can flying towards you at high speed.
If cap can can punch thru a PCB or ceiling, it can punch you hard too. In eye it might be very well fatal.

Sure thing. When these fake polymers explode, then the can punch itself into a ceiling... so we already know what this is capable off... Remember that it is the hydrogen that power the explosion and the same stuff fly Space Shuttle to orbit... or to death as Challenger did.
False. Never ever.
Polymers have own casing, easily to distinguish. Some old Fujitsu polymers are just looking like a yellow elyte cap, even with the perforation witch cap of THIS size always have.
However todays are the polymers made as sleevless ventless caps that are easy to spot on. Of course you can't trust not established brands, as with elytes.
Just check the Samxon URL for example there: http://capsmod.net/caps/

how exactly do you avoide this apeening, them 'poping'?

PC died eventually, a horrible fiery death... but hey, it took a while to get there.

Only roman catholic caps will pope. If you see any other caps poping, then they're faking it.

top caps from popping is to UNDERCLOCK your PC, and reduce CPU voltage. That gives each electronic a lot more headroom and will wear out/fail much less.

Its good that they had the breakable vents.... imagine the vents didnt exist

Trodas is it true that solid polymer caps also come in the old-style aluminium cans?
