Thanks for your reply Ian, Ill be sure to check over my work hopefully ill have a look tomorrow australian time, do you have a website? that would be really handy as this isnt the last cabinet i plan on fixing Cheesy thank you very much for letting me know, i would much prefer to order a kit then picking out caps, regardless how long it takes to get them here.
Thanks again Ian.

Hi all!
I have a monitor chasis, that i know was working when i purchased it, i used it for about 5 hours plus after i bought it.  I took the cabinet apart and noticed several caps starting to bulge so i removed the chasis, ordered new caps and replaced a majority of them, before I continue - please note that I live in Australia, and there arent any places over here the supply cap kits like bob roberts ect, I was going to get international shipping through bob, but on his website it says they dont do intl' shipping, anyways.. So some of the caps I had were the correct uf but were of a higher voltage then what was already on the board just fyi.  So after replacing the caps, I reinstalled the chasis turned it on and instantly the fuse blew, there is only one fuse and its located near the ac-in on the chasis.  I haven't yet had time to look over everything yet, I did very quickly inspected the solder work from the bottom of the chasis, but I have not yet had time to inspect anything else, I would just like a steer towards what I should be checking to diagnose the fault, I still havent had time yet to look at it but I'm guessing maybe check the caps are not installed back to front? is there anything else i should be checking, or any methods to diagnose and elimate what this issue could be? any help would be greatly appreciated. 
Thanks Ladies and Gents!
