You can self-pace freelance. I bought my computer by writing scripts and then selling the rights to companies.
Sell some of your work. Or freelance. I'd recommend freelance anyway. Such easy money.

Also one of the easiest intro ways to making money and getting your name out there is to write articles. Programming websites need articles written, and they pay pretty well for them. At least over minimum wage. It's not a $20+/hour programming gig, but you also don't program much. It's mostly just writing. But it further pays for itself through name exposure. I've written maybe five articles for two websites, and I can't count how many people have e-mailed me after seeing them asking me to write a program for them. I don't remember what I got for the articles, just that it was over minimum wage. The gigs I got e-mailed as a result were $20-$40/hour.

But I mean, if you are just wanting a new computer, the writing gigs alone should solve that after just a few gigs. You generally get at least $100/article as an introduction price, and a few hundred if you've proven to draw traffic/be competent.

You should def freelance. Money's too good not to.

It would be too shittily stressful if that was your job and you had bills and shit, because there's no telling when the next job would come or how much it would pay. But for money on the side, it is amazing. It's not "I'm only making $200 this month. How will I pay rent?" It's "Hey, a spare $200 for just a few hours of work."
