This is a shot in the dark, but does anyone have any advice for how I'd go about finding replacement power bricks for various devices?

I've got a 15" KDS LCD here that I don't have the brick for. It's a perfectly good monitor, but the person who gave it to me didn't have the power connector.

KDS has this to say about the electrical requirements for the monitor:
On Working: 32W Max
Voltage: Universal Input Voltage 100~240 VAC, 12V Output
Standby,Suspend,Off: Less than 5W

I'm guessing that's a part KDS buys from some supplier somewhere, right?

I've also got an old off-brand Pentium4 notebook, several home routers and a small external hard disk for which I can't find the power pack. I can find details similar to what I posted for the monitor, but... what do I do with that?
 
Don't people like Kensington make "universal" power bricks and separately sell an array of the pins that will go into the devices? I'll see if I can rustle up some links I may have saved (it'll have to wait till the weekend, though).
 
I have a box of bricks that I match up to stuff as needed. The 3 bits of information that need to match are:

Output Voltage
Minimum Wattage (having an over-powered brick is fine)
Plug Type/Size

I find Radio Shack's iGo series useful most of the time.
