As good as Better than new. Nice shiny new capacitors, and the machine booted straight up without complaint. Unsurprisingly, it's more stable than it has been for a month.

It's actually worth it to try and lay your hands on newer defective motherboards that are being tossed out by a shop for the capacitors. I will often pull good parts from otherwise bad boards in order to have them on hand for quick fixit jobs like what you just did.
