I recently bought a SAPPHIRE X1650 PRO graphics card, on the manual it says that the card needs plugging into your computer power supply and hard drive but I can't because there isn't any free plugs to plug the card into the power supply and hard drive. I looked on the internet and found that I should have got a plug in card. Is there any way I can get this card into my computer? Thanks in advance.

Well, first make sure that your card actually needs the additional power. Look for a PCI-E power connector (has 6 "holes") on your card or a standard 4-pin molex connector. If either is present, you'll need to hook one of them up with the appropriate cable from the power supply. If your power supply doesn't have one available, then you will need a power supply, or you can buy an adapter (couple dollars) from a computer store.
