Well I partially fixed my faulty OG Xbox, got the PSU working.
I replaced the two bulging caps, turned it on and:
Fortunately I had the system on it's own RCD.
I took a look and it turned out the other big cap was leaking....from the bottom, thankfully I bought a set of two replacement caps so I replaced it.
Unfortunately it still wouldn't boot (and yes I checked the fuses).
In the end I recapped everything on the PSU except one cap I lacked spares for and I now get the console to power on.
Now I need to look at the lack of video output from last time I used this.
Update:
ANNNND IT'S DEAD AGAIN
