Default buying caps

I'm trying to fix a Gateway pc with bad caps on the MB. I managed to
remove the bad ones ('Chhsi' brand name) and clear the holes.

I need (3) 1000uF 6.3v HM(M) and (2) 1500uF 10v WG(M) electrolytic caps.

I'd been believing the replacements would cost ~ $1 each. But the local
parts supply place has the 1000uF for ~ $2, and they don't have the
1500s. Radio Shack has the 1000uF 35v for $1.69, but they don't carry the
1500s. Can I use a different value in place of the 1500s? Radio Shack
does have 2300s.

I don't live in or near a large city. Any suggestions? I'd thought that
procuring the caps was going to be the one easy part of this project.

Btw, can I use axial, if they physically don't interfere with anything?
Do I have to worry about any other ratings and/or quality?
