Need Help - Putting in a laptop BD/DVD drive into a Desktop

So I bought this really nice HTPC case, but it only takes a slim Optical drive. No biggie I thought. I bought an LG CT10N BD drive meant for notebooks. It's a SATA drive. It fits into the case beautifully, however, I can't hook it up to a power cable. The SATA cable fits fine, but the power connector on the back of this drive is even smaller then a SATA data cable connector. I've tried searching the net but I'm having trouble finding an adapter. Has anyone else ran into this problem and can possibly point me in the right direction?

Thank You so much!
 
LoL! That is the drive, but let's just say that I did NOT pay nearly that much money for this drive hahaha.

About that Sony - The picture of the rear connectors is exactly like what the drive I have at home has. Can you see how the power connector is like half the size of a normal SATA power connector in a desktop? That's the dilemma I'm having.
 
Thats $4200 for 30x drives.

And do you have a pic of the drive's connectors? I'm sure someone could identify it to make searching much simpler.
