hi Juan,
Welcome to the forums :)
As to your post i would stay away from using a CC or debit card, it just seems a unnecessary risk. personally I use MT gox via uk cash deposit (all info can be found on the mt gox site) and then run my coins though a couple wallets/mixer and then to SR. If you need the coins quickly a straight transfer from mt gox to SR would take about two days from cash in to coins on SR (average sometimes can be longer)

If there's any way to go through Getbitcoins.com I'd do that. MtGox will ask you for detailed ID somewhere along the way, & your Bitcoins and/or cash will be frozen until you comply. MtGox rarely lets people get away without providing all sorts of personal info ~~ oh & don't think of accessing MtGox through Tor because they have a list of Tor exit nodes & will just make it harder for you.

i'm not so sure all that is necessary. no one really knows what you are buying. hell they don't know for sure who's coin it is the moment it leave mt gox. how can they know what the sr address is?
so IF silk road get raided what then. at best they will have one transaction where u bot some dope. the address to your house was probably already deleted if you didn't use pgp.
i got a feeling that everything on the back end of SR is tight. IF THEY get raided, watch no one else go down. thats my thoughts. The security of SR with the tumblers built in, it would be a real bitch to try to trace the coin. it would be a very circumstantial case if it ever even lead to an identity.
