---- Adding power supply or power connections

I purchased a PCIe X1 4-port USB 3.0 card for my machine but it won't work without power. There is a power connector on top of the card which requires the old Molex 8981 connection. Trouble is, my existing power supply does not have any extra dongles of this type left for use. Man, in the old days you had so many of these you actually became frustrated at times because they were all over and in your way any time you had to work inside the box. Now, they are all but gone!

Besides removing the card and looking for an alternative card that will work in this machine, what are my options?
