Optiplex 980 add-on card power
I want to add a card to my 980 that requires additional power via a standard, full sized, 4 pin Molex connector like we normally see in a computer. The Optiplex 980 has no full sized molex connectors at all. Not even some in use. There is however one mini Molex for the 3.5" bay. I have found full to mini cables but no mini to full. Any ideas? Thanks.

If you have a SATA power supply, you can probably use a SATA>Molex adaptor. Google for them.
Obviously, you'd need to confirm power output from the PSU and input requirements for video card, and the gender of the adaptor you need.
