I removed the Optical drive and put in a ATI 6850 desktop card connected to a PCI slot.

Quiet surprisingly it runs very well, managed to max out Crysis 1.But the MBP shuts down very fast because my power supply doesn't provide enough power so the battery is also used :mad:

What can I do? Any custom power supplies for Macbook Pro? I'm looking for maybe 200W or something like that or more.

That's right! Apple just started selling 180W adapters designed specifically for 2011 quad-core MBPs. you have to buy it separately though.
