From my understanding, PCI-express cards such as the 6800GT or X800XT requires a specific PCIe power cable that neither SN25P and ST20G5 offer. Those type of cards usually come with an adaptor that takes up to two molex power cable to feed the card.
Now I believe both ST20G5 and SN25P only have ONE molex power cable for the optical drive, and that the others power cable are for SATA drives. In the case of the ST20G5, I believe there's only ONE SATA power cable.
Can anyone confirm me this? How did you guys run config with cards such as the 6800GT? PCinpact recently tested the ST20G5 and claimed they ran a 6800GT w/ 2 hdds in that G5 chassis. All of it from a single SATA/Molex power cable?
