Here are some of the caps I took out- the cases are split front and back.
just[/i] like another common computer issue I've heard about. In the BBC Micro's power supply, there are three capacitors just like those which will crack just like that. Again they're filter capacitors, and again the Beeb will run without them. But it's quite common for them to go BANG!!! all over your Beeb's logic board when they first crack (they can also smell/make smoke as a slightly less destructive way of failing).
