Only 1 sata power cable in box - help?

I'm currently building a PC and the case/PSU only came with 1 SATA power connector...

I've connected the SATA power cable to the hard drive, which leaves no power cable to connect the SATA DVD Drive, which is entirely SATA itself.

Are there any ways around this - such as an IDE to SATA cable for example, to power the DVD drive?
