I would call an AGP card that draws 75 watts a "power hog" all right.
It was the most powerful card of its times... power always has a price. ;-)
If you can find an old AT power supply, they have a switch to power
on/off. I have in the past used one to power extra external hard drives
and fans for cooling the drives . Of course this requires leaving case
open, or cutting and splicing after running through a hole.
This dual 867 MDD has 2 hds under PS (400 watt), 2 HDs setting on top of
2 optical drives but belong under and from time to time up to 2 sata
drive loose outside case on a pci card, and a pci usb card. There is a
5" fan on top of processor heat sink and 2 1/2" fan hanging from airport
cage (both 12 volt DC). About a foot away I have 2 5" ac fans blowing at
MB. Also there is a fire dvdR burner and assorted firewire and/or usb
hard drives attached. I been starting to think it's time to power from
another source especially if I add more SATA and Firewire controllers.
