I went to this neat place called a bank and asked for a computer loan. All i had to do was give them an invoice of what I wanted and they gave me a loan for $3,500 I currently pay $138 a month for my laptop for the next 1.3 years although I hope to pay it off early. The funny thing is I only pay $153 a month for my car? The main reason I did it was to build credit. (yhea sure credit.) Most banks have computer loans my intrest rate is set for 7% wich is better than any credit card I could find.

Yeah, I didn't pay it all off at once. I do not have a real job, so it was pretty much impossible to do that unless i wanted to wait a couple years to amass that cash, so I did just what Brain did. Just get a loan and pay it off monthly.

My next goal after i get this paid off is to see if they will give me a loan for a computer i build myself. I will goto newegg get the list of parts and then take that to them and see if I can get it financed the same way. I can build on heck of a Computer for 3000$ athalon fx-53 and ati x800 here I come!!!

Wow I never thought about getting a loan from a bank for a computer. I only pay cash for most things because I can't stand paying interest. I recently just paid off my second car in 5 months. I beacon at like 800 or so on my credit, so I at least don't need loans for credit. My car loan was 7.69 percent up from 4.5 on another car I had just prior (I sold it to get the other one), so I went to my insurance company and got a loan at 4.99 percent. I paid that sucker off in like 5 months because I just can't stand interest, but I wanted to get some sort of loan credit. I never paid less than $1000 a payment

Anyway my answer is work hehe................why is work out of the question donnie?

Everyone... please don't flame/hate me...

I was allowed to get the Area 51m because of my parents.

My desktop at the time crashed randomly, can't do college work on that one! So I decided on a desktop replacement laptop, I greatly needed the portablility. My parents OKd the decision and paid for the laptop (its not like they couldnt afford it either). I think it is justified since I really do not get anything for my birthday and Christmas since I left grade school.

I bought mine when i was 16 last sept. I knew i wanted to buy something big in the

future but didnt really know what so i started to save. So when the oppertunity to

buy this came around i knew i had to get it so i was able to pay for half and my

parents coved the other half. I got a job that summer and kept it throughout the

schoolyear and still have it, so i have payed my parents back in full and am now

enjoying my big bundle of joy.

I told my ho's that I wanted an Area 51m and told them to work extra hard. Leave no john unsatisfied, I said.

Why is a job out of the question? Too young? Too lazy?

Did you something like “pat your feet on the concrete and make me my money”

My parents wanted to repaint my house, and they got an estimate for $6000, so I did it instead and they bought me the laptop. It wasn't easy... but it was SOOO worth it! *hugs lappy*

I knew i wanted a new computer at the beginning of last school year, so i have been working at subway all school year, and up-ed the hours in june and july after i got out of school. Im only 17, and didnt except any money from my parents for it. I just took the $2650 out of my savings, and sent AW a cashiers check.

That sounds like a good idea, my parents were thinking about painting the house. I love you, Mario.

Anywho, for those of you who've asked why i don't want to get a job, because i'm the biggest lazy ass ever. If I wanted to use energy to get a job, i'd use the energy to build a computer.

Trust me, it's hard and you have to know what you're doing, but in my case my parents got a good painted house, saved $2400, and I got a kick ass laptop. Oh yeah!
