How would you buy a new computer? Would you Finance it, Use the bill me later option, or just pay the whole cost upfront?

I'd pay for it all at once. Why pay with credit with interest which makes the computer cost more than its worth?

Definitely pay the whole cost upfront. Me personally, I hate having bills of any kind, then the risk of forgetting. I would rather just save up the full amount get the computer and never have to worry about a payment again. Its a good feeling. :) Not the paying part obviously :P

I would pay the whole cost up front if the computer was up to $2000. After that I would probably finance it.

I usually buy upfront. That way the computer is mine right away and I can move on with my life.

I would buy the components separately and divide the cost over a period of time. With a little labor, I'd have a new computer without exceeding my budget.

I've done both at one time or another. Usually, it only goes on a credit card if I get some type of reward points or incentive for making a purchase on that credit card... and I then pay the purchase price off in full to avoid finance charges on the card.
