For the PSU, it takes MicroUSB; so that's 5V, and you'll probably want at least 1a.

For the HDMI to VGA converter, I recommend Portta's active HDMI to VGA converter. I have one and it has worked well for me. I bought it on the recommendation that it does not crush blacks, but I have not verified this myself.

For the Mini HDMI to HDMI adapter, get whatever you can find on Amazon. Same could probably be said for the VGA cable if you need one.

If you don't want to use a credit card to buy from Amazon, you could probably find someone to proxy the order for you.
