    My friend just got an old alienware area 51 with sli gtx 260s in it. He gave it to met to put a hdd in and get setup for him. When I went to plug it in i see the psu seems to use some weird proprietary plug going into it with 3 flat prongs? I have never seen a power cable like this before and have not had much luck googling does anyone rscpgne this and know what I should be searching for online to buy for it?

    I thought UK had 2 flat at the top and the bottom one is vertical I cannot remember seeing any plugs like this and went through all outlet types on Wikipedia and Idk how my friend would have gotten a UK alienware from them.​
