Space issues inside my computer

I just installed a new graphics card which is extremely big. I had to move my sata hd down one to fit the graphics card in. Well now the power cable for the sata hd is not long enough, so i do not know what to do. Should i buy a bracket so i can put my sata hd where the cd/dvd drive spaces are? Or would it be less expensive and more wise to buy an extender for the sata power cable? I do not know where to find or which kind of bracket/extender to buy, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
 
Ok thanks for the replies. I dont have any free 4 pin power connectors due to my graphics card using 2 of them. So, is there a cable where i can plug my current sata power cable into, and then plug the new cable into the sata hard drive? Or is there simply a bracket? Its fine if there is some product on newegg that will work. I just need a quick solution.

EDIT: Could i use this? how can i fine out how many pins my sata hd has?

This may be a little off the topic at hand... but what kinda gpu you put in, and what kinda power supply you have? If you had to sacrifice your free molex for lack of pci-e power connectors and you put in a higher powered card with a cheaper psu your asking for trouble....
