After browsing the interwebnet, I found something that leads me to believe it is what I think it is, and that's this:

an adapter to turn the 8 pin aux server board plug into a 6 pin PCI-E video connectorSo yeah, http://forums.tabit.net/images/smilies/new/rock.gif.

Talk about shitty timing, though; I just bought an Apevia adapter off newegg for my ($200!) x1950xt. Heh. I guess I won't need to buy one if I want to dedicate an old x1800xt for physics or something. (c:

I'm quite positive that the EPS to PCIe adapter was from my (new, but old) Enermax PSU, which I linked to above. I got the card today and so far, so good; I've got 36A on my 12V, and ATItool is telling me that the GPU draw is 30A, so here's hoping it never goes above that, as I've only got 6A left for my 4HDDs and 1OD.
