      Oh my!
      -
      First give exact model number and revision.
      -
      Then give a list of the caps you pulled out.

      Maybe you'll get lucky and someone has one in hand to look at.

              If you have only pulled the OP filter caps it will be easier.
              That doesn't change much from model-model plus you can figure some of it out by tracing circuits with a DMM.

              The 2x2200uF/16v are obviously from the +12v rail.

              I -might- have an SL[something] I can look at tomorrow for the normal layout.
              I would be surprised if someone else here doesn't have one around to look at as well.

                          Sorry,
                          I tried to come back but couldn't find the thread again because I remembered the wrong model number so the site search didn't do me any good.

                          I don't have any SL-xxx model Antecs.
                          Closest I have is SP-xxx. [Still a Smart Power. Just different vintage.]

                          If you can provide photos or a good drawing of the cap layout for the area of the caps in question [don't need the whole board] then I will check if what I have is the same layout.

                              Nope, this board is not similar to yours.
                              It only has 5 main OP filter caps. Yours has 6.

                              Photos/drawing might still help someone else help you.

                                  This thread:
                                  https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=8385
                                  Has a PSU that is probably closer to yours and has lots of photos.
                                  Perhaps you can snag enough puzzle pieces to figure out where the caps go by process of elimiation.
                                  .
                                  Is the layout like yours?

                                              Here is my guess then but it's a guess, check with DMM to be sure.

                                              The two 16v are obviously the +12v caps.

                                              The long one's location can be seen.

                                              The two to the left are the same size.

                                              And PSU's of that age favored the +5v rail.

                                              So here's where I -think- they go.

                                                          I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.

                                                          For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

                                                          It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

                                                          Hello,

                                                          First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.

                                                          I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.

                                                          I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."

                                                          Hello!

                                                          I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.

                                                          The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.

                                                          I have studied the board and...

                                                          Help with switching power supply caps

                                                          I'm trying to repair two old VCRs, they both have bad caps. One has leaky ones, the other would barely run until I subbed in some caps from another power supply I had laying around (though they are the wrong values). This vcr works for an hour or two, but then the power supply starts whining and the picture gets lines in it. I didn't replace all the secondary caps, so another voltage might still be problematic, or the values I used are too far off.
                                                          I've been on mouser and digikey but the options are a bit overwhelming. I just need some new ones that will work. They don't need to be top quality,...

                                                          Good evening

                                                          I recently aquired a rev 1.1 Gigabyte 60XT, and was suprised of the amount of leaking caps for a motherboard of the P3 era. Especially the way the 330µf caps seems like the housing discolored even.
                                                          Now, there are some 3300µF 6.3V KZG series around the CPU. Would it be OK to replace them with something like EEUFR1A332 ? (Panasonic FR 3300µF 10V). Or was this board designed around very low ESR caps?

                                                          But I was also suprised about the bigger boys, which are 330µF 25V.
                                                          Could it be they used 25V caps because they were cheaper / available at that time?...
