I believe that their cash deposit option is only down temporarily.  That's what it says on their website at least, I could be wrong.

In a matter of two days just how many threads have been made about this very topic? It says right on the bitinstant site that it's for the weekend only. Secondly, this question has been asked and answered hundreds of times, why not just use the search function instead of making a pointless thread?

Actually,

From speaking with a Bitinstant worker, Its not gonna be available until their new site launches from what i was told st8t from Bitinstant workers..

I hope its not true, but i was told that just 4 hours ago, and they r not 100% when their new site will launch .

Honestly, I just throw some cash on a moneypak then "exchange" it for bitcoins with a reputable vendor. Very fucking easy!

Key word "Exchanged" so there's not even a real transaction going on, you're basically trading.

"Maybe you can find someone in your area who's willing to trade cash for bitcoins?

Might be a bit safer than sending your money to a stranger and hoping he'll send you back some coins. ;)"

I agree, also:

On SR, look at the category = Money

JumboMonkeyBiscuit looks very legit. Any of them can go rogue at any moment though.
