Here is a quick idea of what you will need when you go to those shows, and what to do and what not to do:
1. Rubber gloves, since most of the geeks there are ... umm the most icky kind.
2. you will need an Asian translator since it seems all these folks just got off the boat for the show.
3. Dont talk about warranty.. cause there aint none, infact the place you bought it from prolly doesnt exist after the show closes.
4. Ask for EXACT batches of CPU's if you are there looking for them, if you dont they will sell you some re-marked POS chip
5. Keep all reciepts and make sure you get some rock solid info about the company if you are buying something you cant test before you leave with it.
6. if you are buying software like Windows XP Pro for 30$, its prolly a pirate or stolen copy
