You could get a checking account at a bank and link it to a paypal account.

You can get a visa prepaid card from almost anywhere. You put money on it like you would a gift card, and buy things like you would with a credit card.Elemayo

Go to the bank and get a debit card for your account? Or if you insist on buying with credit, you could try www.newegg.com and apply for their credit card (assuming you're over 18 of course).TheDuffman26

Hi You could get a Postal Money Order but it would take a week to get your parts.

Back in 2005 I was able to open a student checkings account at Bank of America (I was 16 years old) but at the time you had to have 400 dollars to open the account. But things may have changed because of the bad economy

I use a walmart money card, works pretty well.

Why can't you just use your mom's credit card? If you give her the cash up front what's the problem? She must be either real mean or has a real low credit limit.

We are not rich. I juct came across $800 plus 200 i saved.

well for me i had to wait until i was 18, i went to TD bank and got my free student checking account, i had to go to the atm, get the amount of money i was going to use for the pc and put it in the checking account, i got a free debit card and like 3 checks and like 15 more later in the mail for free, there was no minimum balance or anything and it lasts until i'm 25. later that day i went online with my debit card and ordered the pc parts, i hope you have a job and your using your own money, i spent $800 and im getting $65 back in rebates

your mom probably don't want to spend $1000 on something simply because you wanted it (unless your family is super rich and you're spoiled to no end). I know my parents would refuse to pay for any entertainment systems for me and would make me pay with my own money. Especially when I was 15AzNs3nSaT1On

yeah interest rate on credit card are sick . if you put stuff like of 1500$ and you don't pay ur debt before a year the thing can up to 2500$ like magic :P it should be illegal to charge such % rate on credit card but guess making money of water is just too good for them :P

if you really want to get it all handeled tomorrow then youll need the money first of all, and youll have to find some place that has prepaid master cards or visa's or whatever like that, usually the max youll be able to find is like 100 dollars prepaid so youll need to get 10 or 11 of them just to cover taxes and such
