Is there a capacitor list for the Dell GX260 motherboards?
I've been looking around on this board but I've not seen much mention of what's needed for recapping GX260's.
It looks like I have about 25 machines that are going to need this.

Did you discharge the CRT before doing any of this? If not, maybe you were just lucky.
The picture tube itself acts like a giant capacitor, and it can store thousands of volts plus a fair bit of current for weeks after the monitor was last turned on or plugged in. (There are often safety circuits to discharge this power but there's no way to know if those are working, without checking with a high-voltage test probe.)
Before anyone else tries replacing caps in a monitor/TV, please take a look at this [b]CRT Safety[/b] info before doing any work:
