Post A Pic Of Your Pc Here :)

Hmm, looks a lot longer than 10" in those photos! My 5870 is around 11" and as you can see it only just fits into my case with millimetres to spare.

I can get the cables going through the cable management holes, just that because of the way the power connectors on my 5870 are, they have to go over the card. Annoying I think but as my PC lives underneath my desk and I only look at it when I press the power button to turn it on, it doesn't bother me too much.
 
it may look longer, but I can assume you with specs, it is 10".

its running 86* right now with the fan on 100%. If i remove the side panel, the temp drops to mid 50s. This is idle temp. In game it is a bit higher, mid 90s, mid 70s if I take the panel off. I think its starved for air with it on, as the fans on the front of the case are not plugged in as the cables are too short to reach the headers.

it is slanted. I am not sure why though. don't really want to try and fix it as it is working now. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

You have an ASrock board correct? Most come with double drilled mounts for 1155/1156 coolers but also 775 coolers which is slightly angled offset. I'm guessing you used the 775 mount instead of the 1155/1156 mount.

Dude I really hope you are talking in Fahrenheit and not celsius lol.

If thats celsius, your cooler is not mounted correctly.

Missed this earlier. Don't know how. The H61DE/S3 is a ASrock, but it only has 4 holes for coolers. The Extreme4 was dual drilled, but not this one. I might also note that I can not get the little notch to line up with the brace, so that is turning it a little bit. I might not have it mounted right. Did not read the instructions, which might have something to do with it. But I am getting mid 50*Cs at full load 8 threads, so it is cooling quite well.

Neither did I.
So far I am quite impressed with the cooling power.

Yeah somehow I missed that you were talking about the 480.
 
some new pics of the setup. Worked on the cable managing. Sucks, but teh roadrunner internet will not share signal with the switch. It will run the M90 from the switch, but not the desktop. So what I am going to do later is run off mums centry link to run the switch just as before.

anyway, the pics.
Whole frontal. Also features backpack on its hanger.

A few machines I've owned from years gone by, mostly from 2009/10. :)

A31 and R40 side by side. The R40 died on me shortly before that photo was taken. I took the photo in a desktop wallpaper on the A31. :) Shame I've lost the original image.

IBM ThinkCentre A50-8177

Was my main desktop from about 2008 to early 2010 I think. Had a P4 2.8GHz, 2GB DDR RAM, 80GB IDE HDD + 400GB WD SATA HDD, GeForce 6200 graphics. I thought it was awesome back in the day. ;) No kidding I actually did!

A31 on a dock which I bought it

There's the A31 with a Fujitsu Esprimo in Feb 2010.

Below is a shot of the HP dx2200 which was the machine I used daily from Jan 2010-Dec 2010 when I first built my custom-built PC. Here it is installing Vista and I think I had just thrown a GeForce 9600 GSO in there ready to be sold to a customer last December.

my setup sucks, computer is ontop of some boxes cuz the cable is too short, and chair is my be, works ok but not fun getting in and out, gotta spin around on my butt, and the desk is just bad, too small all around really.

(the red is the gpu fan shining through a gap and the mesh)

If i get my hands on a longer cable (hopefully DVI), first thing i'm doing is getting one of those wiring sleeves thingies for all the wires on the monitor, they bugs me, and i hate it being a 19", but it's a few years onld and was like 200 i think and is 1440x900 and had a built in DVD drive and it's really a tv, so it wasn't bad, should prob hook the cable back up but i ain't got no channels so no point
