I have MoneyPak, what's the easiest way to BitCoins?

So I don't have a wallet set up or anything. I tried downloading the bitcoin wallet app but it tells me I don't have enough free space on my hard drive to synchronize. Can someone please tell me simply how to set up my bitcoin wallet, and convert my green dot moneypak into bitcoins?

well it sounds like you need to free up some space on your hard drive 
the bitcoin client needs to download the block chain in order to verify your individual client and set up your wallet. if you don't have enough room on your HD, you can not download the chain and thus will be unable to complete transactions.

ha.... starting out is a bitch.
Ditch the desktop wallet, its annoying and you have to synchronize it so often... Its garbage
Bypass the BS and just create an account on: https://blockchain.info/wallet/
To receive bitcoins: You have to get on bitcoin otc IRC and then try to trade someone. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoin-otc
On a $100 money pak I usually get a lot of quick trades if I take a $20/$25 loss.. If you only want to take a $10 hit, you're probably going to have to wait a long ass time.
However, setting up an account on IRC and all that shit will take a while but its necessary because 90% of people won't even acknowledge you until you get in their specific OTC IRC web of trust rating system or whatever their shit is.. I can't find the link for the guide... but... just ask around on IRC and they should be able to provide it, so you can link up and start trading.
--- Alternatively get a Dwolla account.. Link it to your bank account... Wait 14or30 days or whatever for them to confirm everything... Deposit $$$ into dwolla (3 days). Make an MTgox account and transfer USD from Dwolla into MTGOX (couple hour wait?). Trade USD into BTC...

If you are going on Silk road you can just buy a money pak and get coins from people selling straight on the site.

the best way to buy bit coins is bitinstant.com then go to cvs or walmart only 4% instead of some vendor selling them for 15 % on every hundred takes 15 mins and you will have coins sent straight on your sr account or where ever this may help

Check craigslist first imo, that way you can help someone cash out who wants too, and you can get hooked up with bitcoins at the same time. win/win.
(P.S. You can prob get them a bit cheaper this way if you can haggle a bit.)
I would personally be wary of any business that only sells bitcoins and doesn't buy them.
