The voltage can actually be anything 12 to 22 volts and 1 amp or more is what I would recommend. The barrel I believe is a 5.5mm with a 2.1mm hole.

Here is a much cheaper alternate for less than $5 shipped: 12v 1a power supply

I'm with H1000, you can find tons of laptop power supplies on eBay for less than $10, shop for one with the 5.5/2.1 barrel connector and it's PnP. I'd be looking for something with at least 1.5A capacity, and perhaps more if you plan on adding one or more AIU's.
