    APC power or this?

    Well I had a cheap 300 watt jumstarter bought from a local autoparts store for 39.95 and it worked great powering 12v items for an extended period of time. I would recommend finding something similar locally so you can try it out and return it easily if needed

    REAL NOOB Power Question 8800GT SC

    I think the adpater is just a split 1 molex male, 1 molex female , and 1 6pin pci-e. It's so you dont loose the use of the molex line. However I wouldn't hook up anything else to the adapter as 8800's have a tendency to use some power.

    Need to buy today but I'm stuck on choices.

    In my personal opinion I cant see any difference between hdmi and component. save yourself some money and go with component, as you probably already have the adapter that came with video card.
