There is RS and Farmells, but they try to cater for engineers with deep
pockets.

Farnell are rather expensive, but carry a range of caps of the same
value. You'll find that you have a choice with varying ESR values,
ranging from "not cheap" to "ludicrously expensive". :-)

Ian: remember that it can be quite a bit cheaper to parallel several high
ESR caps of lower value than fit a single cap with low ESR - if you have
the space and don't mind it looking a bit odd. You get the same low ESR
and the same final value but with a little extra work.

Rapid Electronics are good, but they don't do much in the way of caps
over 400V. They do carry some axial lead 450V ones up to 100uF though.
*Much* cheaper than Farnell or RS.
