I don't think that's unsporting at all. With the latest and greatest
Pentium, all you have to do is plug a stupid little mini-tower into a wall
outlet. Victor and his gang will have to haul this huge behemoth home,
then figure out how to get the right power to it, then figure out how to
get the right cooling into it, then *pay* for that power and cooling to
run it, etc.

If anyone is audacious enough to take on such a challenge then they
deserve the advantage :)
