Internals of the Tagan BZ1300W PSU. OEM is topower. The primary capacitors are pair of Toshin.

LOL. Look at the PCB shots. lol. This is the most ugly PCB I've ever seen. (followed by the seventeam one. )

Oh my goodness... Even my soldering looks better than that!

[duckula]

no wonder why Topower closed their manufactory in China. lol

[shovenose]

"Manufactory"? Lol its not a word. Maybe you were looking for "manufacturing plant" or "factory"?

[duckula]

blame my dictionary for that. lol

[shovenose]

lol ok...

aurium 500 watts is one perfect looking and it has only one capacitor as you said it is made from Hitachi
hey can you tell me what company i should use to replace my bulged capacitor which is 200v 300 Uf

[duckula]

Hmm, that's strange. Normally the low voltage capacitors on the secondary side are more likely to die before the high voltage capacitor(s). As for which brand you should go with, I think a Samxon would do the job since it normally won't put too much pressure on the primary capacitors.

btw. I'm not qualified to answer caps related questions. lol. Let's wait to see what c_hegge would suggests.
