Fancy upgrading my dell work machine so that it has a graphics card in it that I can crunch some seti units on.
On initial checking, I thought that this would be a no go as I only had one spare molex connector, so would not be able to power any card that I put in there.
Digging around in my case I found this connector - its very short (2cm cable from the PSU)

Is this a connector for GPU's, or is it a mobo power connector? Can I buy something that will extend it so I can run this cable to a graphics card? Im hoping that this is enough for me to get a 2nd hand 8800GT or something..
Please tell me I can use this for a GPU
Have found this on the dell website, but Im no clearer as to what this connector does..
DC Power Connector P4
Pin Number Signal name 18-AWG Wire
1 N/C
2 COM Black
3 COM Black
4 + 3.3 VDC Orange
5 +5 VDC Red
6 +12 VDC Yellow
Still don't know what it is for, especially as the first pin is blanked off
