there is more than enough info there, for you.

you can buy the capacitors at a local radio shack. also considering there is really no high performance caps. radio shack will be a fine place to get them. if you do them yourself make sure to use a soldering iron with a variable temperature and use the lowest temp possible where the solder just melts.

if the caps actually blow most likely the microcontroller in the board will get surge then its all over.

just for your knowledge that microcontroller chip cost about $7-15 depending where you get it but the only thing is people charge a few hundred for the 5 mins of time it takes to program. i know that for a fact because i have written many programs for the atmel atmega 16L microcontroller.

atmel's bumper sticker on the race cars "my microcontroller is faster than yours" i love that slogan, i am not going to get in to why it is true.
