Xclio 450Watt PSU

[tenub]

I got my Xclio 450Watt PSU today from Newegg and sleeved it with yellow sleeving. After finishing and putting it in my computer, I found a JunFu 6800 µF 25V capacitor on the ground. I did turn the PSU upside down because I couldn't find the fourth screw to it (thinking it might have fallen in the PSU). However, I also found another capacitor behind my curtains while I was cleaning the room up afterwards. I remember my brother disassembling my broken subwoofer for fun and very similar, if not the same, capacitors. My question is: Is it possible a capacitor fell out of my new PSU and if so, what should I do? I haven't tryed it out because I'm still awaiting for my CPU and HSF to arrive.

Please don't hate me if this is a very stupid question...

Thanks,
Joseph

Probably not.

shouldnt be possible since the places it falls from would mean it's a damn small cap.

Okay. Thanks for the help! I also found a review site online that had an internal view and I compared the picture with mine and everything looks the same. I also did find that fourth screw in the PSU when I opened it up again to check for the "missing capacitor".

yeah, i have thee x-clio 450 in front of me i'm putting in a new rig tomorrow and there really isn't a place for it to fall out of there.

on a side note, this is pretty funny. about 1/2 way down you see some x-clio stuff. its not like its out of the ordinary for companied to act like this but funny when they're caught. guy must have crapped when he got the reply.
