I can't get an HDD mounting bracket?!?

Question

Okay, I picked up a new hard drifve for my Dimension E310.  Opened the case to install the drive.  The drive cage requires a special rail bracket for mounting the hard drive.  I called the spare parts line and was told by someone named 'Melanie' that the drive bracket cannot be purchased separetely from a new hard drive.  I HAVE TO BUY A NEW HARD DRIVE JUST TO GET THE DRIVE MOUNTING BRACKET?!?  That is just plain ridiculous.  I'm angry that the case didn't include the spare bracket in the first place then to be told this, I'm simply flabbergasted.   Unless this can be resolved somehow and I get a drive bracket, I can assure you I will never buy another Dell product again.   Stupid, stupid, stupid!

Not stupid, just too lazy to find the correct part number.   http://www.centrix-intl.com/details.asp?productid=1109

Thank you very much for your help.  I've already ordered the part.  I was pretty steamed last night at the notion of not being able to get that bracket.  Thanks again, you were a big help.
