Wow, never seen a blown Sanyo, let alone more than one.. Are they marked as Sanyo WG's??? You might have had a CPU overheat condition there, looks like the caps closest to the CPU suffered the most.. I've got a KT7 with some blown Nichicon HD's on the VRM input side, and it was obviously overheated as the board actually changed color in the VRM section to a darker shade of orange. Of course the CPU survived somehow..

Maybe someone tried to do a fanless system?

btw this is a transcend board.
it had good airflow.
i bet the "gutless wonder" AN psu was to blame here.

the psu may have contributed to the failure but caps blowing their bung out is an indication of bad manufacture / poor raw materials. do they look like fakes?
