Just had one of these in which I haven't come across before.
Not sure what the model number is but I think they are colloquially named 'Shoebox' PC's?
The large caps are all Chemicon KZG and one has bulged (2200uF 6v3) I suspect all the others have probably had it as well. There are 6 of these and 3 X 1500uF 16v.
The other caps which are OST's 1000uF 10v which there 11 of will need swapping even though they look good. Be interesting to see what their ESR's are once removed.
Various other smaller caps are littered around and as these are OST's too it's more than likely these are suspect as well.
Depending whether the user wants it repaired, I haven't started working on it yet so I don't know if it will just entail cap replacement. Lets hope so!
The PSU is built in the case and is labelled 'Enhanced Electronics'. Haven't checked the caps inside yet but it's more than likely they are some dodgy make!
