why not split your existing pci-e plugs?

its better to supply power from 3 12v wires and 3 ground vs 1 12v and 2 grounds with molex/sata. otherwise you'll melt your cables. I powered two gigabyte 5850s on a molex line, this is what happened.


I do that with some of them.  But I've got a couple of damn multi rail PSUs that require me to connect atleast one card each to a molex rail and a sata rail in order to balance the load. 



thats why i dont do multi-rail psus either. singlerail4lyfe

http://cablesaurus.com/ has some of this kind of stuff, and takes BTC.

Thanks, I've been there though.  $12.50-$17.50 for one of these extenders is a little pricey though.

I need:
(2) PCI-E 16x->16x
(3) PCI-E 1x->1x

Give me a price shipped in the US.  

I also am still looking for GPUs (5850s, 5870s specifically) and PSUs (950w or better).

Also interested in Molex or SATA -> PCI-E power adapters
