Where could I find a SATA power supply? Without going online?

I bought a SATA cable at Best Buy and they didn't have a supply thoguh and I need one to get my HD working. Where do you suggest I try? Besides online cause I don't feel like waiting for shipping.Where could I find a SATA power supply? Without going online?
So your HDD is SATA and your Power supply isn't? you can find adapters for older PSU's that convert to SATA for such a caseWhere could I find a SATA power supply? Without going online?
NO, I need a Sata power cord to connect to my hard drive. I got a normal SATA cable connected to my drive already. Now I need power for it but I can't seem to find a cable for it without looking online.
You must have an absolutely terrible power supply if it doesn't come with a SATA power connector. Basically any modern power supply comes with at least three or four SATA power connectors these days.
Holy crap I found it. It was hidden behind a jjungle of wires. Thanks a lot guys.
And I did not mean the SATA cable to connect it to the Mobo, there are adapters to convert an old PSU cable to give SATA power.

A long service life generally means a product is high quality. As long as it has the power required these days to push your components, it could still be perfectly serviceable.Let's face it, about 90% of the time ''Made in China'' (Malaysia/India/Mexico, etc., etc.) means you'll most likely be buying a replacement, because it was built by a company that put cost in line ahead of quality. Remember, kids toys with lead paint, lead in toothpaste, Lord knows what in dog food?

If you have a PSU that is quality but so old as to have no SATA connector, the PSU would be close to dead from capacitor aging, among other things. Also PSU from back then did not have as much power on the 12v rail for the most part. So even if it was top of the line way back when, chances are it is CRAP now.

New connector standards, different rail distribution, and the aforementioned capacitor aging are all factors in me considering a unit without those connectors crap. Especially since his motherboard obviously does support SATA, making it a reasonably new board.As for ''Made in China'' parts being crap, the vast majority of our computer internals are made in China or Taiwan. Some of the best cases in the world (Lian-Li) are made in Taiwan. Most premium motherboards are also made there, along with many graphics cards and other internal components.
