Financing Electronics?

[TFin04]

Hey guys, do any nation wide electronic stores offer 0% financing on anything right now?

I'm thinking about buying a laptop soon, but I would rather pay for it slowly. I have the cash to pay for it outright, but if I can find a 0% deal somewhere I would jump on it.

Just wondering if any of you were familiar with Best Buy, Circuit City, CompUSA, etc.

Any ideas?

If you buy directly from the manufacturer (the better way to go if buying a PC) they will usually offer 0% financing if paid off within 12 months.

Don't know about pcs but I bought my 52" high definition tv from Circuit City on credit at 0%. Just have to pay it off in 12 months and can't be late with a payment. They issue you a Chase credit card so I imagine you can get anything they sell with it.

Chase, blah. I work for National City Bank.

I may look into Mr. Collucci's idea. Any companies you know of for sure who offer this service? I've had good luck with Gateway and bad luck with Dell, but I'm open to other options. Looking for a very small (12" screen), thin notebook.

The new HP notebooks are good. I have a DV8000T. The dv1000t is most likely what you are looking for.

I also found a Dell that I like. The E1405. Any experience with those?

Looks very similar to the HP one listed there.

I'm not very computer savvy, could somebody recommend what options (as far as processors go, etc) would be best for that HP? I would use it for wireless internet useage, forum browsing, word, excel and powerpoint school projects, and store less than 30 gigs of music/photo's on it. Trying to stay under $700 total.

Thanks for the help guys.
