Just performed my first monitor cap last night and it was a success. It took about 4 hours to put in about 20 capacitors and then reassemble. I definately feel a lot more comfortable with a soldering iron now. If your thinking about putting in one yourself for the first time, let me know and I can give you some tips that I figured out along the way.

I can send you a pic if you want to post it for me. I can solder in 20-something capacitors into pcb, but I still don't know how to crop a picture to post it on these forums. One challenge at a time...
