If you get a (free) mtgox account and verify it, you can deposit cash into it at any chase branch.
Then buy bitcoins at market rate on mtgox and move them to your wallet, then onto SR.

You pay only a VERY small fee to withdraw your bitcoins from mtgox (I think it's .01 bitcoin per withdrawal)

you can also use www.get-bitcoin.com if you don't want to deal with the market, they'll charge a 5% fee but it's guaranteed bitcoins in 24 hours or less.
