Origin Feature: The Boards
You know where the hobbyists talk, on any net or in any back room, and they know you. Given one day and access to a net or a hobbyist meet, you can source an obscure part, a schematic or an unofficial firmware build. You recognize unreleased, prototype or modified hardware on sight and can name who built it.
