What is the black stuff on the cap in the middle that does not look blown? Same goo that looks to be on the coil?

Looks like some kind of crap-glue. Maybe the one that's yellow and turns brown somewhere (from heat?) - I've this in some PSUs.

Does anyone know about Asiacap capacitors? I have never heard of this brand before. (Picture if possible?)

Epoxy with an electrolyte chaser? Do you take that with an olive or a maraschino cherry?

Re: dalco atx500w(powmax re-label)

i did not find info about asiacap on the net. are we sure about the spelling? perhaps it is so crap and therefore no site.

Cheers Pete!

You mean Asiacon? These are sometimes seen on Acer or Wistron OEM PSUs. They're better than Arcon, but that's like saying that Choyo is better than GSC.

I didn't find Asiacon's website. I'm guessing they are so shitty that they have no website at all.
