The Rubycon MCZ and MBZ topcat sells here would be fine.

I see a lot of failed Nichicon HM/HN in the XPS desktops. Occasionally I will see bad Chemicon KZJ. I don't think I've seen KZG in an XPS. So, those are the brands you want to look out for.

I've also seen Rubycon, Chemicon KZV, and the occasional Panasonic in them, I usually leave those alone as there aren't any issues with them.

Occasionally the 85 degree caps will cause issues, but 95% of the time, replacing just the ones mentioned is enough.
