Hi Dan,
	Yes, the convertor cable simply changes the pin-outs of an 
exsisting PC power supply.  The case I bought (as with most PC cases) 
comes with a power supply, so I did not need the full buggie-special unit.  
You can get the cable from Buggie himself, hence the name "buggie 
convertor cable".  :)  If you contact him via e-mail, he will design it 
to your specs.  In my case, I only needed 1 foot long, and it turned out 
perfect!  

My power supply is 230 watts, so the more I have plugged into my GS, the 
more stable it becomes.  After putting in the new RamFAST, the 
Secondsight boot crashes have almost totally disappeared!  (I can't wait 
to fill my last 2 slots)
