    I was just having a look at the back of the psu when I noticed that some bits inside look slanted :eek: I cant test until tomorrow since I am going to get a IDE cable with a irish plug and my fixed cpu (hopefully! :o)

    PSU is a super flower amazon 550w

    So does this look normal? (sorry for the crap picture quality)

    It's small yeah, but if its the capacitors that are slightly slanted, dont worry about it

    Is it squealing or anything? I cant make it out but it looks like the copper coil part

    The heatsinks are slightly tilted, and a largish nearby cap and a coil behind it are more strongly tilted in the other direction. Unless its not working at all there isn't an issue.
