You have a couple of options. May want to keep an eye on the market and act quickly; the prices dropped drastically over the last couple of days. I'm not sure if anyone knows if it was due to MtGox crashing or if there are other forces behind the crash.
- MtGox - The "leaders" of Bitcoin trading. They've been having some issues finding new banking partners and were down for a few days. I'm unsure if they're back up and doing transactions as of this point. No Tor required, but I think they have a huge sign-up process now that requires identification.
- BitInstant - These guys used to be good, but then they started scamming people. I used them many times before they kept crashing. They went down a lot over the course of a few weeks (many people never received their funds) and returned with a new backend and website.. so they may be back in good standing; I haven't used them since. You'll have to search around for recent reviews. No identification required, last I checked. No Tor required.
- BitStamp - Only used them once. Can't say much. No Tor or identification required.
- SilkRoad - You can buy bitcoins here for direct bank deposits. Make sure you find reputable vendors. I know the king does quick, legitimate business of orders over $1,000. Tor required.. no identification.
- Atlantis - You can buy bitcoins here for direct bank deposits. Make sure you find a reputable vendor. I haven't used their services. Tor required.. no identification.

I used CampBX once, too.. but I had to send in a check and it took forever to actually get my coin. They are too volatile a currency to have to wait that amount of time.
Are they doing instant transfers yet?
