[Disarray]

I have a forton source 550 psu and a 1900 xtx. I cant have no power supply plug compatable with the video card. Any suggestions short of buying a new psu?

Your X1900XTX did not come with a Molex --> PCI-E Converter?

solder 4 new leads to the 12v and ground connectors inside the psu and terminate them in the proper plug.

Thats a little difficult. Something many people would not be comfortable doing... or have the skills to do.

Instead, get something like this:

Cheap, simple solution. Looks as though people are complaining that its a tight fit due to bad manufacturing, but push hard and it will work. Problem solved.

Nope.

Shorta tells you ATI doesn't want you to use a power supply that doesn't support PCI-e cards? Pretty smart move if you ask me.
