I plan on upgrading my video card and I need some help with my power supply. One of my open cables won't reach to the card and I was wondering if they make a extension cable for the 4-pin cord. I see they make the splitter cable and that would work, but my open one is already a split cable. If they don't make a single extension, would be able to use a second splitter?

I have a extend cable to plug my 9800Pro. It came with the card. It's very cheap to get one.

Can someone point me to a place to find one? All I can find on newegg.com are the splitters. Since I am getting the 800 XT I need the extension to the 4-pin.

You can use the splitter, just don't use the other side of it for anything else if you don't think the power supply would keep up.
