hey guys i just got my 8800gtx sli and antec 900 case and pc power and cooling 750 quad

well my power supply has 4 pci e power connectors, but my video card also came with a cable that converts regular power supply connector to pci e

do i just use my power supply cables?(plug in 2 to each card)

Also, my antec 900 case doesnt have power LED switch cable.. weird
 
2 of them have a lil extra attachment thingy and 2 dont..

i put 1 of each on each card.. is that ok?
 
Don't know what you adescribing but as long as both cards have two 6-pin power plugs connected they should work properly. Whether you use the cables from your power supply or the adapters is up to you, both methods will work.
 
I'm guessing the "little thingies" are 6-pin to 8-pin PCIe power adapters.

OP, don't use them, you don't need them, the connections on GTXs are all 6-pin so just use the cables coming out of the PSU.

Those molex to PCIe power splitters were included so people who's PSUs don't have those cables could run the cards. Always best to use a native connection, rather than a splitter, if possible.

Connect 2 cables to each card. They require both to be connected to function properly.
