        Add GL - big ones bulging, smaller just going bad and Rubysun - 100uF looking OK but completely open.

            Here's a _very_ slightly bulged Yec I found in an FSP Sparklepower power supply. It's really hard to see, but the cap is _very_ slightly bulged on the top.

            I'll probably be the only person going to SteamOS once it gets out of beta (ha ha.)

                The logo looks almost same as HEC which is crap too.

                    I've seen a Rubysun capacitor in a pair of Olympic OTC-120MS speakers (with the misleading PMPO rating), but I have yet to see Rulycons in Australia...
                    Also found the Rubysun manufacturer at www.ygxkjdz.com with this engrish: "Wellcom to Ours Web".
                    My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

                        What's PMPO? And I found ok-looking YEC in the company of Rubycon in an ancient DTK AT psu.

                            PMPO is a BS stat quoted by cheap amp manufacturers. RMS is a more acceptable measurement.

                            http://cbll.net/articles/pmpo

                            actually i just replaced my office 300W psu opened it up and found lots of Fuhjyyu caps. still working fine after many years. this cap game is funny. replaced it with a zalman modded with better fan. need more power to run so many hdds.

                                I read up on PSU design yesterday and stumbled onto a mod with multiple supplies.
                                You can split up the load but both supplies have to turn on which can be tricky.

                                http://www.burningissues.net/how_to/power/complete.htm
                                Here is one example many I found.

                                    Arcon, found bulged/leaking in Dell/HP OEM 250W ATX PSUs marked DLP2507F3CP, manufactured about 4/2003.

                                        Buldged cap, NKCON make, taken from a Powerleap CPU upgrade adapter. A replacement cap repaired the unit.

                                            The font in the NKCON capacitor clearly shows this brand is poor quality.
                                            My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

                                                            I saw a new one today, Skywell. Was on a Geforce FX 5200 card that came in a Dell tower, could not see any brand information on the card itself. It had 4 Skywell 1000uf 16v, 2 had blown, and 1 OSCON 510uf 4v. The cap was dark blue and gold with the brand written horizontally. The monitor would lose video signal after about 5 minutes, replaced with oscons that I robbed from a mainboard and it works great.
                                                            FatalOE : http://www.skywellnet.com/
                                                            see in products they list os-con but then the pdf says (SEL Series) UNI-CON Solid Alumninium capacitor. are those the ones?
