well, sometimes you can stare at the card and think you got it right. I agree It should not be assumed that everybody knows about the power supply. I know that when I added a cd-writer to my old Dell, even following the instruction manual, it took me two days of frustration and calling around just to figure out how to attach the bus to slave it.
The only reason that I know about the power supply for a video card is because yesterday i was browsing them online and Tigerdirect.ca had a blow up schematic with an arrow pointing to the power supply connection. I would have been at the mercy of the instructions as well.
