I would NOT send a money order.  Use your VISA.

If you don't have a VISA, GET ONE.  There are tremendous advantages
for using your VISA.  Here is why I used my VISA to purchase my
computer:

1) I get an automatic EXTRA YEAR OF WARRANTY!  In other words, my
   computer has a TWO year parts/labor guarantee through my VISA
   company just because I used their card!

2) I get an automatic 90 DAY INSURANCE COVERAGE!  In other words,
   if my computer is BROKEN, DAMAGED, STOLEN, LOST, BURNED UP, etc.
   it's automatically covered!

3) My VISA company will automatically refund my money in case my
   computer company breaks their contract!  This means that if my
   computer company doesn't deliver the computer as promised, or
   doesn't hold good on their warranty, my VISA company will step
   in and either see that the computer company makes good on their
   contract or will refund my money.  Just ask the net how many
   problems people have had with companies and have turned to
   their VISA companies for help.

VISA companies may differ.  Mine happens to be Citibank; you should
check out your own company for specific details.

P.S. To all those of you who keep saying things like "my hard drive
     died and it was just two months past the warranty," or "my
     monitor no longer syncs correctly and its warranty just expired,"
     if you paid with a VISA you MAY BE COVERED AUTOMATICALLY FOR
     PARTS AND LABOR FOR ANOTHER YEAR!  CALL YOUR VISA COMPANY!!!
     My VISA automatically doubles the warranty on ANY purchase I
     make up to an additional year.
