It's been out for awhile now (like a month I think), it's just kinda hard to get.

No it won't close. Maybe this will help...

Pay attention to the text on the CPU. It needs to be upside down, the south end of the CPU facing up. Sorry, I can't explain it any better.

You damn-well better have that in a clear-sided case to show that MoFo off. Almost makes me want to do a 1366 Build now.

Lift up the lever, orient the pins with the holes correctly, and then push the lever down... you won't have to put ANY pressure on the processor.
