Jim; I would suggest that you use a higher voltage rating cap, say 16 V or 25 V, if it can fit in the enclosure. Two things can blow caps; overvoltage, or overcurrent. As these happened just after connecting, it must be overvoltage. Overcurrent would take some time. If the design is o.k.

Put it on ebay with a $500 reserve and see where it goes! You may be pleasantly surprised, but then I just picked one up with no problems for $700 0n ebay. The 5400 rpm drive should bring the price up a bit and I would expect you would get at least $600 for it, even with the problems you listed.
