Ah yes, the infamous "branding" sticker. Other than the unusual
connector (its an automotive part I believe) the power supply is pretty
ordinary... you need +12 VDC out and at least 2.0 Amps (therefore 24W,
but more doesn't hurt, especially on the rackmount with large disks).
Some more details can be found at:

(ignore the reference to support at rebel.com, they are gone too)
Now where to get them... it seems netwinder.net is gone... haven't heard
from them in a long time. So forget trying to get a power supply there.
Best bet is a local computer shop, Radio Shack, surplus/recycling
depot, etc.
Hope this helps,
