Desoldering bad caps and replacing

[ivoteforpedro]

I need help picking out a cheap solder iron to remove and replace bad caps from a motherboard. I have three mobos that all have bad caps. I'm not too concerned about ruining the boards because they are old. I don't want to buy and expensive iron, just one to get the job done and learn how to solder a mobo.

These are what I'm looking at:
Weller SP23 http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc...splay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053

Weller SP40 http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc...splay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053

RS 40W http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062738

Have you used any of these with success? Which would you recommend?

I prefer Weller. the 25W should be more then enough.

Get a solder pump to de-solder like this one:

Weller is a good brand name, that should work great. But just about any iron will do.

Desoldering Braid, as well as the solder pump, is very useful too.
