I've had the misfortune of seeing a few go off over the years, All of the burst capacitors I've seen to date are in PC POWER Supplies.
When they go off they can sound like a Pistol Shot. And despite thier thin metal casings they can leave rather deep dents in the thick metal power supply caseing.
if you were using your pc without a case cover and a motherboard capacitor exploded they can easily blind you if hit in the eye.
sometimes they just Fizz and go up in an acrid black or blue smoke .
