Okay here's whats happening i have these 2 video cards Radeon 2900 HD video cards which both need an additional power which is an 8-pin and the power supply only 6-pins left is their away around this? the reason i ask is cause when we plug in the monitor, it reads that their is nothing connected "no signal" im really confused is their a 6pin to 8pin converter available? or would it be just easier to purchase new video cards?
