I usually buy from Digikey or Mouser online. You might check Allied online while you are at it. None of these are real cheap, and you might find some on e-bay, but be careful since electrolytic caps tend to dry out when they get old (maybe 10-15 years) and new ones will last longer. You might want to look for a low impedance capacitor since they usually allow higher ripple current without overheating. It is also not a bad idea to put several capacitors of lower capacitance in parallel so they can share the ripple current task. The cost will be about the same either way, it depends on how much room you have in the chassis.
