No have not opened it yet, but will later tonite. Hopefully not junk brands.....I know Electro's can actually fail faster if not used.
Antec seems to have been having a love affair of sorts with Fuhjyyu electrolytics at about that time .
edit Added: They are nearly all (even the small ones) TEAPO 105c but cannot read the series, so not the best but not the worst. And yes need to watch them. None bulging or any tan leakage junk top/around them. Am going to fire it up on an old board and let it run a few hours...
