Zalman CPU Cooler

[BigPete]

I used the suggested products to build my super pc including the Zalman cpu cooler. I must be doing something wrong because it doesn't fit. Are there any good pictures on how it should be installed? Also which way should the fan be orientated? I haven't booted yet so I don't know the airflow direction of the fan. Thanks for any help.

What case do you have, what motherboard, and which Zalman cooler?

Here are the spec's on my super pc
Case ANTEC Sonata III w/500 watt p/s
MB Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P
CPU Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 (Dual Core)
Cooler Zalman CNPS9500

In the reviews I read, there were a lot of complaints on the difficulty of installation. The motherboard has to be out of the case too.
