The guide just uses a DVI-VGA adapter. Then you stick resistors in! No metalwork at all.

I've made tons of those, by far the easiest way. I think the 5 pack of resisters cost me $1, lol.

Thanks for the guide! I was having trouble getting GPU folding going on Windows 7 (I just installed it due to my other HDD dieing), but this cleared everything up. Both cards are now folding at full capacity

Nice job mate, this should be very handy for people with multi GPUs (I'm too poor for that right now )

REP+ for your hard work

Thanks very much guys! It's kinda funny because I've done this so many times and written so many guides I can do it in less than 3 or 4 minutes (assuming I have the files downloaded, which I do). I figured I'd make a post that I could reference every time someone asks.
