OK, just a quick introduction, I'm a networking guy, not an electrical guy. I have no problem with standard trouble shooting but generally draw the line when it comes to physical failures on the mobo. I figure this site will provide handy. I'm just confirming with your expertise that this board is likely smoked(not worth replacing the caps to the user)
EMachines T6420 that was apparently acting strange for a few days then shut off and wont post anymore. When you try to turn it on the fans kick on full speed and stay there then wont turn off until you pull the power cord but you dont get any post. With another Antec PSU the fans try to kick on but dont and nothing else happens. With a 2nd antec PSU nothing happens at all.
The stock PSU is a Bestec ATX-300-12e, do these tend to be as bad as the 250s at killing motherboards?
in this photo from the top, 2-5 all have bulged tops and #3 seems to have residue on top. Very small spec of residue on the top of 4 and 5 as well.

My assumption is that they are toast and I'll be sending this one off to pasture
Thanks much.
