What you're after are Blackgate capacitors.
Search Google for "Blackgate capacitors" and you'll get some links to suppliers (SonicCraft, Angela, Hifi Collective, etc.) but it seems all that's left there are the standard series. Finding any NX series caps might be difficult. From the values I'm guessing you're attempting a DIYMod iPod?

I'd be wary of caps on eBay, they may be fine but there's always a good chance that they're fake. I'm not sure what they go for now but BG NXs will be expensive.
You could also try some different caps that are still in production such as the Elna Silmic. I haven't played much with different caps so maybe someone else could suggest some good alternatives.

Just try to stay away from all the caps originated from Hongkong. Chances of experiencing counterfeit are pretty high.
Elna Silmic II would be an excellent replacement and dirt cheap.
