Help me before my warranty runs out..

My HDD I ordered 3 weeks ago is still sitting in its package because I cannot figure out what cable I need...

This is the hard drive, I've tried a cable from radioshack that they said would work, however it was just a data cable..... I need the data and power cable built in to one cable I guess.

Can anyone find a cable on newegg or another site that's relatively cheap so I'm not stuck with a paper weight after my warranty runs out.

These for DATA:

And for power your power supply will either have SATA power plugs, or you can use this to convert the old molex connectors.

The blue cable on the left is the sata cable (1st link on Marfoo's post), the one on the right is a power connector that comes from your power supply.
