If you are worried it will come with pet hair stuck in the fan blades, pay an extra $100 to buy from a reputable reseller. If you are constrained to software or work in a chair meant for eating or sun bathing, another option is Mac Orka/Anka.

You can also use AWS M1 instances, with the huge disadvantage that they must be run a minimum of 24 hours at a time.
