Somebody liked this but wanted a 5V output - check out:

http://uk.farnell.com/jsp/Electrical/Power+Supplies+&+Converters/CALTEK/PSM3/2A/displayProduct.jsp?sku=1270466&_requestid=23283

(order code 127-0466 at Farnell UK if the link doesn't work).

This came in the latest Farnell offers catalogue and looks like the ideal 
SDIY bench PSU. Two lots of 0-30V @ 2A plus 5V at 1A (or might be 3A - not 
quite clear) for UKP106+VAT. Can't knock the value...
