Just wondering, being a PC guy mainly. Does the motherboard have the power cables for the video card coming out of it? Or the power supply?  Couldn't the power supply be replaced for a higher end on with more connections? Or is that not really an option on Mac Pros?

I keep searching on various sites and haven't seen the type of Y connector that it would need. I'm sure some of you have done this so I'm tapping the group think on this one.
