Would someone take a look?
Pic is probably a couple of meg in size ("bad" ? circled in red, "good" ? in blue)

I'm not a printed circuit board level guy. But hanging out here, I learned about various problems related to bulging or leaking caps.
OT though - It's a 7 year old "non-Apple" device (kept for the occasional compatibility problem with those other OSs used at work) turned on for the first time in 8 weeks. (And of course unusable the night before a project is due.)
The symptoms made me think PSU or motherboard. Opened up the PSU and to my inexperienced eye, visually OK.
But on the motherboard to the side of the CPU, caps look suspicious to me. But I've never seen a confirmed bad one before...
Thanks.
