    System won't even post with a 9800m gtx. Guessing I need a more powerful adapter right now. Might be why the 3870 wouldn't work either.

    put the correct title on next time then and no high end gpu will even work if you use the 1651 power adapter.

    sorry thats why i put 9800gt in the first post..

    i wonder if the adapter from the 8660 sager will work then just swap the ends to be able to plug into the msi if they dont work already. i know the msi adapter works on my 12" clevo now.. hmmm

    Maybe find the power adapter from a GT627 and heatsink and it might work..
