Nvidia 9800GX2 & Dell PSU problem

Forum Graphics & Displays : Graphics Cards Nvidia 9800GX2 & Dell PSU problem

My computer is a Dell XPS Gen5 which uses a 650W PSU.
I've recently gotten a Nvidia 9800GX2 graphics card but when I went to install it I realised that my PSU was lacking one connector as the card requires two (P6 and a P8)

Is there any way to get an extra connector from my PSU via some sort of adaptor?

Looking for other solutions I came across a dell to ATX power supply converter as my machine requires a Dell PSU but Dell do not make a suitable upgrade.

If I were to get a non dell PSU would the converter work with my XPS Gen5 parts?

Due to case size restrictions if the convertor was viable I would be looking to use an external PSU such as ST-600EAZ from Seventeam. Although open to other suggestions.

Any advice is greatly appreciated,

Thanks

Ryan

Actually this is better suited to the PSU forum page I'll add it there and remove this one.

I don't know anything about this "Gen5" but what specifications is the motherboard?? I think most of their higher end computers use P4-ATX,and therefore a good medium or large tower MIGHT work,but I'm not sure.
