Yes, I understand, just be sure you look wherever you can see them. Can you get any sense of where the smell came from? Did you see any smoke? That would be a good place to look. Burned resistors are sometimes hard to spot because they don't "carbonize" they just get a little bit darker.
The comment about cards shifting in their sockets causing the problem is a possibility, but probably a lower probability event if everything was screwed down.
The obvious approach it to look at all cards that use the -10v supply.

Be sure to examine the motherboard for burned traces.
I didn't notice any burned motherboard traces when viewing the bottom of
the unit. Unfortunately, viewing motherboard traces from the top is a
bit tricky.
