Bear with me here, I'm not much of a hardware guy. I ordered one of these, thinking it was powered via the USB dongle.

Alas, it is not so - how in the world am I supposed to power this fricken thing?

Easy option. Buy a 12V  > 4A power adapter. The ones that look like laptop charger...

You can get it from ztex direct : http://shop.ztex.de/product_info.php?cPath=21_24&products_id=71
Or buy cheap made-in-china ones.

Don't buy the cheap ones!

If you have a ATX power supply.contact forum member Cablez. He does a fine job making pci-e to ztex adapters.
