Cheapest PSU that supports PCI-E?

[imported_Helios]

I need a PSU that supports PCI-E because my x800 xt didn't come with the power cable. I know the Antec Neo Power supports it, but thats $150. Anyone know of any? Thanks.

isn't it just a regular 4-pin molex card?

 

[imported_Helios]

Nope.

Anyone?

There are no PSUs with that kind of plug (since it's proprietary) -- you need the adapter cable that comes with the card. You should be able to get one from ATI...

 

[imported_Helios]

Yes there are. And I haven't seen anything on ATI's site.

I believe I saw Enermax PS's with the 6-pin PCI-E power plug. I don't think it's proprietary. I believe NV uses the same connector on it's PCI-E cards and it should be on some newer PS's.

You really don't want a cheap power supply, though.

NV & ATI 6 pin power

Can I buy that cable off Anandtech?

lol.... dont think so. However the OCZ PSU's support BTX and all the ATX standards. AFAIK they are the only ones who do. Enermax supports all that except BTX. Dunno if any support the PCI-E spec yet though.
