Roll Eyes [SOLVED] sata hdd on ide computer

Hi,
I just bought a sata hard drive ( by mistake ) and found out the hard way my computer is ide.
I've had a google for some converters, And wasnt 100% sure about buying what i saw, probably due to buying the wrong hard drive before,lol.

I know i could send it back to the shop, but the converters i seen looked cheap.
Can someone please give me a link to the right piece of hardware so i can get my new sata hdd working on my ide machine please, And also to be a further pain in the butt, can you only list UK sites. I've found some in America very easily but would like to get my new hdd up and running asap,

Thanks very much
