Help me repair the PC Power Supply

The PS is a Tagan (480W if I remember correctly) - I will check the model later, it's not in front of me at the moment. The fuse burnt, I open it up, and see a couple of low voltage cap + one of the 200V caps with the lead slightly bent. I assumed they were all fried. Took them out of the circuit, measured them (with both the DMM, and by putting a voltage on them) and they work fine.

Kept on searching, found 2 transistors (2SC3320) which are shorted. Next to them is a PFF6N60 which has a diode between two pins, and an open circuit to the 3rd pin.

So the questions at the moment are:
1 - Is there anything else I should check? The rectifier is mounted on a small PCB next to it and it check fine.
2 - What replacement transistors would you recommend for the 2SC3320?
3 - I could not find the datasheet for the PFF6N60. I found some data sheet with the same part number but it isn't the same part. This one is in a TO-220 package, and the one I found is actually for some sort of DO-XX package. Can someone tell me what this part is, and what commonly available part I can use in its place?

Thank you.

1. Check for bulging caps and burnt resistors.
2. 2SC3320
3. http://www.chinaeds.com/zl/201012112032415509_PFD2500PDF.pdf Made by what seems to be now-defunct Pyramis. It's an N-channel 600V 6.2A MOSFET with 1R2 Rds. Replace with any other 6N60 MOSFET.

Thank you for the reply.

1. Did that, could not find anything so far.
2. I can't get it locally, and since at the moment my little brother has no PC to spend his time I must fix it ASAP or my head will explode :) Are there any similar devices you can recommend? I can simply look for something with similar spec's but if there's any recommendations it would be best.
3. Thank you very much for that, I couldn't find that one. If that's the case then this one is fine (the D/S  have a diode between them, and the gate is disconnected from both so seems it's still alive).
Rerouter:
its gain is between 10 and 30, its a power transistor, rated for 400V, CE

Sounds like an waste of time?

Aren't computer supplies cheap nowadays?

I'll retract my first statement if you learn lots  8)

Post pics, more measurements.
