Hi, water01
As uncle_bob said you can use the cheap chinese versions. I have always used these versions. They work well and are much cheaper.
You can find them for less than £ 4
Try these, they work:

Lately, have appeared some new versions that use a new chipset, the CH340. uncle_bob have one of these, also works, but it seems the method I use to prevent auto-reset does not work in these new versions.
Until I can test them, I don't recommned these versions. Search for the ones with the FTDI chip.
