I need to do work on an iMac motherboard, as some of the electrolytic caps have blown. People sell cap kits for these, but they charge an upwards of $20, which is sorta pricey for a cap kit IMO. So for all you cap experts out there, where is the cheapest place to get these:

Five of 1000uF 16v 10X16mm
Twenty Five of X 1800uF 6.3v 10X16mm
 
based on the pic it looks like a lot of good size caps. Maybe just the way the pic looks but I can kinda see why the cap kit might be priced as is.
 
FYI, I imagine you'll need to get extremely low ESR caps for the 25 like the Panasonic FM series. What model caps are on the motherboard now?
 
I repaired my old 20" imac that had the same problem, I bought the caps on ebay for like $15, I didn't buy the $30 kit or whatever it is. Let me to do some looking and see if I can find the seller.
