I need to get a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter for my new MacBook Pro, but I know there are much cheaper ones about than the ones Apple sells.

Ideally, I'd like a single cable (rather than an adapter to plug a seperate VGA cable into) for a little less clutter on my desk, but if there's no decent solution I'll go with the adapter. I know most people recommend Monoprice.com, but I'm in the UK. Google brings up hundreds but I'd like a recommendation from someone who's bought one.

Any suggestions please? Thanks!
 
Ebay's a good idea. I was a bit worried about having the mini displayport being a bit fat and blocking other ports. Having a look now though.

Still would like a cable that goes to a male VGA, but doesn't look easy. They're even sold out on monoprice if I decided it's worth importing...
 
if your still worried about monoprice being safe, you could always use a virtual credit card/onetime use. Many credit card companies provide them for free

If you were buying on a credit card you'd be protected anyway wouldn't you? But still, they don't have them in stock at monoprice (didn't check over 6 foot cables). Shame cos think I'd import. They look ideal!

Edit: I think I might get one when they're back in stock. Still hoping someone can point out a solution in the UK though.
