I appreciate all the responses.

I ended up ordering one from Amazon for $20.... Called 10 different 
places in town with no success. I did not want to mess with replacing 
parts. This cable is for a dual processor Quad Core Xeon workstation 
that I picked up from Geeks.com. The power supply is 1000 watts. While 
1000 watts is a little overkill, it still needs a beefy power supply 
that would probably put me in the $150 range. Besides, Geeks gave me $25 
back for sending the wrong power cord (they do not have the correct one).
