I'm with Taylor.

I can't see any single team gaining a huge advantage by knowing what the specs on allowable PC's are. Black Friday aside, it'd be nice to have 6-7 weeks to wait for a good deal to pop up on an appropriate computer vs. scrambling to buy one the day of kick off or week one of Build. (depends on when you set up the control system initially, I guess)
