The guy said the caps are the same as on Intel mobo's.
Did the 7volt thing with the processorfan, casefan and powerfan, it's al lot more silent now, especially the fan in the powersupply is a screamer, even at 7 volts it still is making too much noise.
Probably buy a fanless powersupply like this one: http://www.mini-box.com/s.nl/sc.8/ca...it.A/id.417/.f and a C3 processor.
The newly installed caps do look like Nichicon, which would be immeasurably better than your old, bulging, Paul&Art caps. "That's IT" 's service also appears to be very good - probably worthy of it 5-star score on the tweakers.net pricewatch I linked to.
About the fans, it may well be, as Chris said, adequate to run them on 5v - although you will have to make sure this is the case - some fans will not be able to start at this voltage, although they will continue spinning if they are already in motion.
The three recognizeable Nichicons are PS series. Pretty good series, the RiHS-compliant version of the PR series. Not the newest or the lowest impedance, but a good performer.

Power Supplies should be boring: No loud noises, no bright flashes, and no bad smells.
