    Those are both general purpose caps.
    "We have offered them (the Arabs) a sensible way for so many years. But no, they wanted to fight. Fine! We gave them technology, the latest, the kind even Vietnam didn't have. They had double superiority in tanks and aircraft, triple in artillery, and in air defense and anti-tank weapons they had absolute supremacy. And what? Once again they were beaten. Once again they scrammed [sic]. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, 'Save me!' He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them."

      Can I replace them with low esr caps like FR, FM, HM, HE? Since I already have these on hand.

        What are you using them for?

            Be more specific... What part of the PSU? If it's around a VRM, then no, I would not recommend mixing caps with varying ESR.
            FR, FM, HM, HE
            ESR, lowest to highest: HM, FM/FR, HE

                They used GP caps in THAT!!!!!!!

                .
                Considering the original are GP - something like LXZ, FC, PW are good enough.
                With that many caps I'd just do an order and save the better caps.
                .
                Will what you have on-hand at least work?
                ~probably~
                There is such a thing as too little ESR but I haven't seen issues with a screen yet.

                  I'm going to recap the inverter while I'm at it.

                  But I have 470uf 100v SK on the input near the power cable coming from the PSU and 2x 220uf 100v SL on the outbound before the CCFL transformers.

                  Should I replace them?

                    IIRC, Nichicon CA, CS and CY series are high quality, long life in inverter use.

                      Always use low ESR caps in PSUs, even if they were not low ESR to begin with.
