Farnell has them:

Which means you should be able to order them through Newark too.
Price is ~88 uk pounds. The cheaper ones (77 pounds) don't have a
display and can only be programmed via PC and software.

Another place to look might be Ebay in Germany. Here's one,
including a power supply 120/240VAC :

Runs 11 hours, no bids yet. 49 euro, that's about $65. Hmm,
might go for it myself ;)
