Hm well, a Soundcard capping isn`t very dificult, but the problem is that there you have to consider the frequenzy range, at least in the analog section. And this is far from easy and could be don only with quit expensive analyzing tools. So for recaping a hobyist soundcard probalby don`t need this, but if you want a defined frequenzy range, s/n ratio etc. this is mandatory.

I dont think that's a problem. Changing the type/quality of the caps doesn't affect anything. Audio hobbyists do that all the time especially with older equipment or for upgrading existing equipment. In fact in most cases higher values and rating are used on purpose and that doesnt affect anything. Lower values and ratings might hurt but I dont see any reason why anyone would do that.

For example, if I were to recap my soundcard I would change all the 100µf caps with 330µf or so and bypass the supply rail caps with 1µ and 0.1µf caps.

Does anyone know anybody in Minneapolis area who would recap/solder parts for me ?

My HP Netserver LP2000r is littered with Rubycon ZL's.
