Those big chemical condensers smell like rotten corpse. The other polcos just explode and/or burn.

Proberbly a resistor that overheated because of to much current (they catch fire). Maybe a short curcuit if a small peice of metal or wire somehow got into the box and thereby causing one or more resistors to draw to much current. A lot of dust will help the fire getting started...

Yup. Basic faul on televisions. Loads of dust -> slight increase in temperature -> fire. Actually that's quite dangerous situation. Many people have been killed by dusty TV's.
