Those caps look as if they didn't get much flux, and knocked-off fairly easy, and clean. Most of The caps in the pics look like they would solder right back on. Most of the components which came loose look re-usable even, although some look like garbage. The boards are pretty beefy, and the solder points are large. I bet a good portion of the PCB's could be fixed with minimal effort, while others are not.
Someone should head up a group buy effort, and hire a bulk repair shop to whip them out. once they see how simple the repairs actually are, it may be worth the effort... just sayin'.
some place like this....      http://sybesmas.com/site/   could make easy work of a stack of those boards


I have a local guy who did just that for me. He works out of his house but dude is totally awesome and fixed 5 boards for me (re soldered the knocked off pieces) all in an hours time. 4 out of the 5 cards worked and hashed just fine, Don't know what happened to the last one. Just never powered up. I can see if I can work out a deal with him if anyone wants to have their boards fixed. Price seemed fair @ $40.00 per board...
