Weird caps

[richidoo]

Three caps in the PS of my Netgear ReadyNas NV failed. Stinky goo from the pressure creases at top of the cans. 3 caps all went at the same time, all the same part. I cannot find replacement part because it is an odd size. Sometimes called cigarette caps with small footprint, stretched tall to save space. The brand of the stock parts is chinese. Probably designed for size, not ripple. There are coils all over the place so it's a smps.

2200uF, 10V, 105C, 8mm x 25mm, aluminum leaded can

I have tried digikey (panasonic) and mouser (nichicon, xicon) with no luck. There really isn't room for a 10mm caps. Any assistance in finding replacement parts for these is greatly appreciated.

I can buy a whole new PS for $120, but I'd like to fix it if possible. Not surprising at that price that the PS uses junkola parts.
Thanks!

I ordered a replacement power supply. Hopefully it will have better caps in it now.

For kicks I tried looking at Allied and Mouser... no dice there either - not that it would matter since you already picked up a PSU but...

  Found the same with the Consonance Cyber 211. Power supply caps are rubbish except for one Rubycon and two Rel Caps for coulping.  [ if it is a real rubycon ? ] All gone now. A big concern with the Chinese products is part quality. generic parts.

A few weeks ago, I was speaking with a General Electric engineer about large AC motors. He commented that GE does very little manufacturing in China since their material quality controls are horrible. He said their manufacturing quality is pretty good but that there is a tremendous amount of sub-par materials in China as well as counterfeit materials. The main issue is material quality control.
