If anyone wants to buy one of these things, take a look.

www.mpja.com as well as
www.jameco.com sell a wide variety of power supplies, including dedicated units that have a 120 VAC input, and a 12 VDC output. They are also available in 5 VDC, 24 VDC, and a number of other fixed voltages. They tend to be expensive though.
