It also looks like that 470µF 50V unit on the primary side is another one of those annoying thin and tall types.
The only match that I know of is Nichicon HW series (or the elusive Chemi-con KYB) — unless you're daring enough to try a general-purpose part (which may actually work in that position, though their low endurance ratings would not be a good thing with semi-fanless operation), that is. As for me, I'd prefer to use low ESR capacitors even in linear supplies (it's not like they're a huge expense, anyway, especially if it's for something you intend on using for 20 years plus).
EDIT: Nevermind this post, there is indeed a KY (and Nichicon HE) that matches. I hadn't guessed that they existed, but there you go. (Why don't these forums support superscript, subscript, or strikeout?)

Information is far more fragile than the HDDs it's stored on. Being an afterthought is no excuse for a bad product.
