Molex to 4 Pin Connector?

[HardwareExtreme]

Hello everyone,
I know that a thread probably exists like this, but I had to ask. For a rack mount server I have, it has a redundant 350w PSU in it, but it is only a 20 pin connector and doesn't have a extra 4 pin. However, I know I can run a motherboard with just a 20 pin, but what about the 4 pin connector? I know half of the people will probably say "Get a new power supply" but the thing is that this PSU has the redundancy that I want.

So, can I take a 4 pin connector and wire it to 1 or 2 molex 4 pin connectors, and then just power it off of that?

Motherboard:
Gigabyte GA-8i945GZME-RH
Pentium D 805
2 gb DDR2

This is going to be a file server so I will probably have like 6 or so drives running (Unused ones will be set to shut off when not in use)
This is a 4u Rack Mount Server btw and I will probably be upgrading it to an actual server dual cpu board in the future, so that means the PSU will probably have to be replaced in the future.

You can get a cable very cheap to convert the 20 pin connector to a 24 pin connector: http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/power-supply-converter-20-pin-atx-to-24-pin-motherboard-a75ct this is just an example.

Or do you mean the EPS cable ? http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/4-pin-p4-power-cable-to-4-pin-female-atx-connector-015m-a20gg

I mean a EPS 4 pin cable. You can operate boards without the extra 4 pins on the main power connector.

As for the power supply, it is some wierd form factor that I can't easily replace with a standard ATX power supply, although it does come close. I will probably have to use double sided tape (Probably won't stick well to the steel/aluminum)

The power supply is 300w, not 350w, and they are two slim power supplies inside of a metal casing that is close to ATX form factor.

Yeah, get one of these cables http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/4-pin-p4-power-cable-to-4-pin-female-atx-connector-015m-a20gg?ranMID=40341&ranEAID=TnL5HPStwNw&utm_source=Skimlinks.com&utm_campaign=always_on&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=affiliate&cmpid=affiliates:always_on:affiliate:TnL5HPStwNw&ranSiteID=TnL5HPStwNw-DxZk_MbKIbYhq.TkBFZlfw
