I get the yellow caps from Sals Capacitors. Mouser does have yellow caps too. I just get them from Sal.

I try to use Xicon brand carbon film 1W resistors. They cost less than 4 cents each when buying more than 10 at a time. I'll typically buy 25 or 50 of each value that I need. The 2W and 3W resistors are again Xicon and are metal oxide and the 2W cost about 8 cents and the 3W costs about 10 cents.

I try to use Nichicon E-caps with 105C temperature and 10,000 hour ratings.

Mouser does have a Will Call that means I can call in an order and it'll be ready in an hour to pick up. No minimum purchase too. They're great people there.
