So I'm gonna bump up this topic because this has started to interest me as well. I'm thinking how can a setup with a 75W card work. With a 75W card that has no additional PEG connectors you have less connections to manage, but you still need to provide external power where the PCIe 4x slot couldn't provide.I found this connector which I have one of I believe for bitcoin mining. Data goes through USB and power comes from a Molex connector which they provide an adapter cable to SATA. I don't really know if using SATA power directly from the motherboard's power header is a good idea, though.
