Bought a good card but...

It doesn't fit good. The back of the computer (where you can link cables with the computer) is on the wrong side to fit with the graphic card (hd4850 ATI). I'm thinking to sell this one and go to a computer store for advice. I'm really depressed it doesn't fit, because I was so cheered up when the card arrived. Do you guys got some advice?

Thanks.

The outputs of my graphic card is on the wrong side to fit. Instead of that the output is pointing out of the computer, it is now pointing to the computer itself and the outputs should be pointing out of the computer.

no the card goes in upside down.. like so

actually 90% of cards go that way nowadays.. in fact i cant think of one single card in the past 4 amd gens and past 5 nvidia gens that went fan side up. fanside up causes cpu heat spikes which si why no one bothers with it anymore unless its a silent running gpu (no fansink)

it shoots the hot air it expels right into the heatsinks on cpu's missing the fan that would normally cool that air on the cpu fansink.. causing it to run hotter than normal or have periodic heat spikes and in extreme cases cause pc's to turn off ;P

this should be on top:

You sir are a god! Thanks man, this worked! Now im running with my new video card. Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks!

Lucky you didn't shock something . . .

Sorry Tv but you gave me a few laughs at putting the gpu the wrong way up, your lucky you didnt damage anything :) at leat you know not to do that next time SPBoss

Yea, I can laugh of my clumsiness :P But I had a manual how to avoid damage etc and was pretty carefull with placing it. Thanks everyone for quick response before my graphic card was already sold :D
