All:
My kids' home-built e5200 system had been acting flaky for quite a while, so I retired it. I found a cheap HP Pro 6000 mini tower business class machine on eBay. The motherboard has two power out sockets. Both are square with 4 pins. My Radeon 3870 has a 6 pin rectangular power input on it. Therein lies my problem. I searched all over the web, but haven't been able to find a cable with the square 4 pin plug on one end for the mobo's power output and a rectangular 6 pin plug for the vid card's power in on the other end. Surely such a beast must exist.

P.S.: new system has: C2Quad 9550, 4 GB DDR3 1066, 250 GB HD, nice case with 6 USB ports, external SATA port. Paid $227 after shipping.
