RSonline. I used to get capkits too, but I prefer another brand (I thinnk higher quality) and high temperature (105 degr.) caps if possible.
Of course they don't have kits there but I can select the values for each cap. Bit more work but no shipping costs for me. Other thing is that most must be ordered in min. quantities of 5 but that leaves some nice spares for the next job :)

doesn't sound too bad, never thought about that because it's more work ;). which brand are you talking about?
all i need is ... PONG - and a select few others: TOUCH ME, DRAGON'S LAIR, JOUST, ROBOTRON, MR DO, SAN FRANCISCO RUSH THE ROCK!!!

Usually Panasonic. Nichicon is a great brand too.

I buy my caps in a local electronic-materials shop here around ;)

Obviously, you need the caps list (can be found on the monitor manual) and you must stay prepared for a second "round" because generally manuals are not 100% accurate and/or monitors see revisions on their PCB's
