Re-Cap Motherbaord

After a futile search for capacitors at Fry's and my local Radio Shack (small ones only) I've come to the conclusion that I'm most likely going to have to order them online.

Has anyone else ordered some online before? Where did you get them from? The ones I need to replace are 10V 2200uF, but I'm not sure of the exact details beyond that. I'm almost certain I need the electrolytic kind, but are they radial, aluminum, and/or Low ESR? Any help is appreciated 🙂

Low ESR, high temperature, electrolytic, radial. Diameter and distance between the wires is important too - else you won't be able to fit them into their places.

... they all have on-line stores. not as much wierd tech stuff
as the "old days", but they should have some decent caps for you.
