If you can't have an MMC and NEED a fast, cheap cap right now, build a Geek 
Group Bucket Cap, they're well known, tested, and reliable. I have a set of 
4 that have been in service for over 4 years that we use for testing and 
experimentation.

You may very well want to think about joining the Geek Group while you're 
there :) We're always looking for new members and have been a valuable 
resource for Tesla, Physics, Computer, Bio, and other types of Geeks for 8 
years :)
