    the connector is on my video card. The AGP slot doesnt supply enough juice apparently.

    It would be a pain when you switch cards but you could always just strip the wire and sodder it onto the connecter.

    I was thinking that but i'd prefer something less messy. I've got a spare connector i can butcher. I'll have a closer look tonight, i'm sure theres something i can do with it.
    Cheers.

    Or solder wires to it (with heatshrink etc so its tidy) and put a molex connector on the end of the wires.... that way you just plug the wires in as normal.
