I found some 68000uF 50V caps for $5 each at BG Micro. They are $4 each for 3 or more or $110 for a case of 36. It is # CAP1090. I ordered 3.

There are also some dirt cheap relays for $0.33 each. They are 5V coil SPST reed relays. Part #1037 I bought 15 for a non audio project.

They also have a few good heatsinks.

is this the forum to post stuff like hot deals? i had posted my find in the parts section. i got some of the parts yesterday, the 10uF caps i got 20/$1 are made by sprague, and i got $3 worth. the leads are attracted to magnets, if that matters for stuff not in the signal path? in any case, i just like the cheapness of the 10uF caps and the 100nF mono caps (30/$1). and now they have some low noise quad op amps 4/$1. they sell that relay there as well, but i think it's $1 each.
have you ever gotten anything from bgm? i like hot deals, but don't know what deals they've got.

Are you sure they are the real deal? I hope they are not but they look like fakes to me.
I have seen these somewhere else before, I think it was the MIT fleamarket. Handling the caps they felt very light. A real cap of these dimensions should weigh a pound.
Usually united chemicon and pretty much all cap manifacturer etch the value on the outer plastic cover, don't print it.

Caps at BG Micro
These are the real thing, they came out of Lambda the
power supply maker and I bought 1000 of them and
with freight from back east paid more than they did,
Over what there selling a box of 36 for....................
There price is a killer price and they won't last long.
They are packed in Nippon Chemi-Con boxes and
some have Lamba sealing tape on them. I've priced
mine at $5.95ea. Jest goes to show I can't beat
everyones prices.... I do have other caps also coming in
and will post later on this board what they are when
everything is in stock.

Steve,
The proof is in the pudding. I am not a big expert on how caps are put together but it should involve thin aluminum foil tightly wrapped with dielectric. A cap like that should weight about as much as a piece of 3 in diameter by 4 inch long and 3/6 in wall Al tubing. Could you tell me how much does each cap weight? If they really are good I may buy some.
According to UCC datasheet the U32D should weigh ~326grams or .72 lb.

I emailed you also and shipping is $9.75 UPS Ground
I've found out the post office is good for packages
under 3 pounds after that UPS is a better deal......

Peter Daniel said:I just called them and there is only 18 in stock. More is coming this week. I ordered a case. (When the price of caps is getting down to the price of beer, I order by cases).
If you put them all in one amp, you would have 3060J of energy storage. Thats a lot at 50V. Usually when you hear of this much energy storage it is with 450V caps. Total capacitance would be 2.45F. That would definitely be the most of any amp in the PassDiy gallery.
