well i'm guessing 8 of the 10 capacitors (5 per card) have discharged any and all electrical charge which is why they exploded.
I'd hear a popping sound every couple hours playing SC2 and didn't know what was making the noise. Opened my case up and my wife's case twice and didn't even notice the blown capacitors. It wasn't until the 5th capacitor on 1 of my vid cards went that the card stopped working and my video went screwy that I actually pulled the vid cards out of the case and saw what had been happening.
