I used these for my recap of C1 and C2:
They are just general purpose caps and work fine. Should I have used low ESR?

Good work! I’m glad you didn’t actually throw it on the floormy adapter was very stubborn, too..it would just not break, and I didnt want to throw it on the floor in fear of breaking components.
I just took a hobby saw and sawed into one edge near the plug at the end..

once there was a small hole I inserted a big screwdriver and popped it open along the edges.
and looking how close the actual board is to the plastic cover I'm glad I didnt use my dremel..
somebody actually `recommended` that..Good work! I’m glad you didn’t actually throw it on the floor
Hey @Fizzbinn! I'm going to purchase caps for my 5xx supply that's in need. Just a couple questions:
1. Are there any specific ESR or high-frequency requirements for these? I know some PSUs can be picky about that stuff, and this is my first time doing one.
2. For the two big ones, should I buy regular radial leaded, or the snap-in style?
Thanks!
