    I've recently upgraded from single to dual HD3870's in my M17, getting the second card was easy but I'm having real trouble sourcing a Crossfire bridge cable. Any help would be really appreciated. :)

    Thanks for the replies. I emailed Alienware 2 weeks ago, got automated "we'll reply in 72 hours". Tried again a couple of days ago, still heard nothing.

    As for ebay, been looking for about 3 weeks - nothing! Nothing in completed listings either.

    I've emailed a number of resellers (eg. OCZ, Flextronics, XoticPC etc.). No joy so far. These things are very difficult to find!!!
