Re: Blown cap on a GeForce 8800 GT
The MCZ would be good.
The KZG... it depends if it's old or new. KZG is a series from Nippon Chemi Con that had a major flaw between some years and they're all dying eventually. However, the series is still available in retail because after they noticed the flaw they fixed it.
You can determine the manufacturing date from what's written on it, usually it's a 4 digit code that means week number , year ... as in 1005 = week 10, year 5. On some brands is the other way around.
Anyway, you never said where you're or I don't remember ... and you never posted a picture with the capacitor you used so I can't (try to) determine if the capacitor you used is bad or not.
Tell us where you live so we can tell you what online stores you could use to buy original stuff because it looks to me now you're probably searching for them on eBay, which is a bit risky. Some stores, depending where you live, have free shipping so it's sometimes cheaper to buy from good stores.
In the worst case scenario, if you have paypal i'd be willing to mail you one good capacitor for the stamps and envelope cost, about 2$. I don't do this usually because it takes time to go to the post office.
