Any particular reason your going for a mATX motherboard (especially as your using a fairly beasty cpu cooler)?

As for finance I'm no expert but basically it will explain how much and when you pay (expect to pay more in 2010 than you would if you paid now) and then it checks your credit rating and can either accept/reject your finance plan. If it rejects it then its best to check with your bank/credit experts on why you've been rejected (may be due to being overdrawn or unemployment etc). Also if your rejected then the only way you can buy is paying there and then.

As said above check the cooler you want has a socket 1156 fittings as there aren't many that have them as of yet.

From this page http://www.overclockers.co.uk/financefaq.php#bnpl6

However, provided you pay the outstanding balance in full before 6 months has expired no interest will be charged.

Yeah i would be wary of these type of deals myself but why not send them off a web note to get it confirmed.
