In the case of the solitary main cap. in a PSU such as that from an MDD, that is probably less true. If the capacitor's demise in each case also took with it the FETs, that might be a different story in terms of cost. 360W PSUs go variously from USD150 used to USD300 new before postage, from sellers in Hong Kong to USA. I was fortunate to stumble on locally-available new 400W PSUs for AUD175, with Shanks' pony as the only delivery cost. I am aware of a local repairer of MDD PSUs, but the cost and feasibility of repair I have not yet explored. Not all PSUs, I hear, can be repaired.
No forgiveness is necessary. We'd probably be -challenged in your corner of Humanities.
