I had a gander at Digikey and Mouser and came up with this: http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?qs=CjLBVBdJVbRDf2rqZCEQVw%3d%3d It's surface mount (which is unfortunate for this project) and ideally I'd like a higher voltage rating "just in case". Still, it's the only solid aluminum cap I could find in stock at those two (my preferred vendors). What do you think?
