At a convention you can pay cash (semi-)anonymously where if you had to build that stuff you'd leave a paper trail.

Many I know in this group of people (DefCon/HOPE attendees) do things like trade around craigslist-cash-purchased laptops.

It would also be a good place to anonymously buy Bitcoin for cash.
