Whatever computer you're using now is fine (as long as it's not a smartphone). If you're worried about it, download TAILS onto a flash drive and use that for your DNM activities.

Maybe several others DNM bros I have helped will chime in, who took my advice and built the below machine with much success and satisfaction. This was a while back, so I doubt they will even catch the topic in order to chime in.

Perfect DNM box bc: inexpensive, lightweight, thin, highly compatible with Linux

Edit: It has a similar size and weight of a netbook, but has the power of a business grade machine.

Don't get any kind of Android/iOS (phone, tablet, etc.) device. You want something that you have complete control over the operating system for, e.g., a cheap laptop or desktop. Hard drive is optional.

A cheap one. I like /u/Derrick4Real's suggestion of an old Dell Latitude; they're good machines.

Craigslist for cash would be the ideal way to get it, otherwise any other classified-type thing is gonna be your best bet for privacy. If you must, you could order it off ebay, and you'll save some money that way, too. But it'll leave a paper trail, and if you're super tin foil-hatted, leaves you open to an NSA/DITU package interdiction with ultra-advanced malware implant.

You also definitely don't need a separate computer for this stuff; plenty of people use their normal machines. Just remove the hard drive and boot off of TAILS when you wanna browse the markets.
