Picked up a (hopefully) bargain ATI Radeon X1950XT (AGP) graphics card from a well known auction site but it has a cable missing. It is a 6 pin to 2 molex connectors cable and I wonder if any of you knows what this is called and where I could pick it up reasonably cheap.
My power supply is a 480W Thermaltake jobby and doesn't come with the necessary adapter.
Thank you in advance.

I can't see one on ebuyer and they're normally pretty good, so the well know auction site may be your best bet.
However when I needed a DVI to VGA adapter I found the best bet was to go a local shop and they sold me one for £2. They were much more online and at places like PCworld. Somewhere like that may have one from a scrap system they could sell you cheaply.It's my problem, it's my problem
If I feel the need to hide
And it's my problem if I have no friends

I think this may be it!

Thank you for that gentlemen but I saw these and were put off by the fact it said PCI Express video cards and mine is AGP.

Your card's PCI-E hardware with a PCI-E to AGP bridge, so those cables will get you up and running.They say it's genetic, they say he can't help it, they say you can catch it - but sometimes you're born with it0
