Check out NEC (http://www.necables.co.uk/nec/index.php?target=products&product_id=30300) it's just over £20 for a Trust one and comes with a 2 year warranty.

It's a pretty standard unit. I got one off eBay from Hong Kong for mine to avoid carrying it between locations. It cost less than £10 delivered iirc. I've used it every day for about 6 months now and it works just fine.

I bought mine too long ago for it to still show as an active item but a quick search shows there are plenty still on eBay. You'll need to check the power plug supplied though as the first few I checked come with a US plug and if you don't have a UK one spare or feel up to changing the plug on the cable it will bump up the cost.

All you really need to be sure of is that the PSU will deliver 20v and can supply at least 2A (ratings off the bottom of my 4211).

If you look at the ones in Maplin you will see that they look identical to the "dodgy" ones on eBay - the main difference being they cost more than double the price.
