    SATA power convertor?

    I'm building a new PC and the new PSU was supposed to come with a couple of SATA power leads, according to the Antec website. When I received the PSU and looked at the SATA HD I had bought, I realised that it actually didn't.

    What can I do about this? Where can I get a convertor from a 4-pin power lead to a SATA one? Preferably somewhere fast and that won't charge me stupid P&P for a small adaptor.

    I don't know about SATA to IDE but there are converters to run an IDE drive on a SATA controller.
    If that is what you need I have a couple spare ABIT ones - say £8 incl p&p?
