[sdiy] Through-Hole MLCC capacitors

[Pete Hartman]

I usually get the blue ones as C0G caps from Mouser.  A bit spendier, but
they look nice.  X7R's usually come in yellow.  And no, I don't get kits, I
get various ones as I have projects, or as I run out of something common
(like 100nF bypass caps).
