The $40 capacitor kit that paid for itself in one afternoon

I finally broke down and bought one of those assorted capacitor kits off Amazon for my old Dell motherboard collection, 40 bucks with shipping. Had a P4 board that kept dropping USB devices randomly, classic bad caps around the ports. Swapped out three bulging ones with a cheap iron and solder sucker, fired it up and it's been stable for two weeks now. The kit has like 500 pieces so I'm set for years, but I'm wondering if anyone else trusts these mixed bags or if I got lucky on quality, especially the ones from no-name brands?
