Blown Caps in 0-30v 0-10a bench supply repair

Caps were replaced and shorts were soldered and epoxy'd over. Checked pos/neg out for a short, and sure enough it beeped at me. I'll tear it apart and start checking diodes, but at this point, i'd considering buying a new one, or looking into building one, with some bad-ass protection circuitry (diodes, fuzes, etc). Too late now to do any more work on the supply.

BTW, it wasn't plugged in when tested for shorts, and tested positive for shorts between the +/- outputs both with the power switch on/off. Does not powering it up have anything to do with it showing a short?
