Identical rated caps made in the USA by CDE are available from Mouser.
Part # 381LX471M450A052 ( Mouser # 5985-450V470) are $11.29 ea Qty
10-99.
These and the Panasonic are good caps but be careful of the ESR and
ripple current ratings which are signifigantly worse than computer grade
caps.
Mouser carries the Mallory line of CGS and prices are just a little bit
more than the smaller caps.
If you design for less C as Rich suggested you can save quite a bit of
money.
Mouser also carries 3 and 5W MOX resistors.
BTW, I find that Mouser almost always has better prices than Digi-Key.
