Power Suppy Caps

As mentioned the power supply caps don't seem to fail as often as the mainboard ones

I have seen a couple of version 1.6 PSU with bulging caps but not any of the 1.0 - 1.4 PSU's

There is no harm in changing them if you want.

Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

I have a 1.6 Xbox that I picked up at a Salvo's a couple of years ago for cheap, I soft modded it at the time of getting it then put it away in the cupboard up until today.  Seeing I've decided I'd start tinkering with Xbox's again I took the 1.6 out and fired it up today as I was thinking of putting a 2TB Drive it in like I've just done to one of my other boxes.

Well, as soon as I fired it up what appeared to be a small cloud of either dust or smoke came out of the power supply side of the box.  Nothing major but enough to get me worried, it didn't have the magic smoke smell of burning electronics but there was a bit of a smell, maybe it was dust but it seemed strange as I've never had it happen before on other Xbox's.

I haven't popped it open yet for a look as I can't find my screw driver kit with the right bits, lost it the other day somewhere around the house :)

Is there a common thing on a 1.6 Xbox that'd cause this symptom? It's a clear case crystal special edition 1.6 box.
