If you can't find the datasheets for the existing caps, my guess is that Rubycon MCZ or Panasonic FM is more that suitable as replacements.

Assuming they're in the power supply, I'd just use Panasonic FC.

i see those sets often.fc or fm will do fine.height can be an issue though.

If FC is too big, you might be able to find a suitable FK.

Rubycon MCZ is not suitable for most power supplies. Rubycon ZL would very likely be fine, though, and they can be bought here at badcaps.net.
Other choices of caps for power supplies are KY, KZE, LXY, and LXZ from United Chemicon, as well as PW, PM, HE, and HD from Nichicon.

Just check the brand and series of the caps you have (series is usually 2 or 3 letters), then look for their datasheets on Google. After this, look up datasheets for the above series I listed, and see which one best match the caps you have - basically follow PCBONEZ's advice in above link on how to choose the proper caps.
