Responding to: ???'s previous message
Notice I put design life.

They do not last forever. The design life of a PC power supply is not 20 years.
In my former life an arcade video game repairer I saw a lot of bad caps. The Video Monitors started to have problems in less than 5 years. They sell kits of replacement caps. Cheap switching suppies, bad caps. Audio caps in games and juke box Amps, bad. Linear supplies not so much.
But based on the design and envionment, your milage may vary.
