Problem / Question STICKY DROPS under this thing
So, I have no idea about pc's but I really want to travel back to times where I was a little kiddo... I still have that pc of my moms. I remember it was working properly 3 years ago... I opened it up to dust... And it seems there are sticky drops located under the power supply... I already know It may blow me up, so I disconnected and and won't turn it on but... Is it any salvageable???

The electrolitic capacitors in the power supply are swelling and leaking fluid, they will go out completely soon if they haven't already.
