I'm building one good PC out of several old PCs for a [money-less] nonprofit museum. The best of the lot is a 6-year old Dell Studio XPS so I'm building on that. The best graphics card I have is an ATI Radeon X850 XT card (circa 2006) but I don't have the power supply adapter cable it requires. Does anyone have an idea where I can get one or even what it is so I can get parts and build one up?
ATI Radeon X850 XT into an old PC?

Is this the header you are trying to power?
If so, this is what you need: http://www.amazon.com/4-Pin-Molex-Female-Adapter-Length/dp/B007NMSUUA
Be sure you have at least a 350W good quality PSU for that old card. Btw, I think that card is more like circa 2004.

Yeah, that looks like the beast. Thanks much! There's another connector alongside it (in the unpopulated space in your photo) but it's a signal type, not a power type. I've found that the card was introduced in Dec 2004 but the PC that I pulled it from was built in mid 2006. It'd been partly cannibalized already, which is why the cable was gone. The PSU is 475W so I'm good there.
Thanks again.
