Installed a Radeon 5830, only using one 6 pin connector as I do not have enough connections.
Can I get some sort of expander?

yes, you should have received a molex to 6 pin adapter included as part of the accessories with your card.

You connect the molex's to your PSU and the 6 pin to your graphics card.

BTW what PSU do you have?

Yes. Any decent computer store should have adapters on sale that convert standard 4-pin peripheral connectors to 6-pin pci express ones.

550W power supply, I have the adapter, it;s just there isn't enough molexs'.

well there isn't much you can do about that, either unplug some stuff that isn't necessary so that you have enough molex's or just buy a new PSU with at least 2 x 6pin PCI-E connectors.
