Seems like the sort of thing even (perhaps especially) a novice would research properly before trying, IMO.

Like say, flashing hacked firmware onto your phone, it's obvious that you need to figure out the score before committing yourself, but the effort you pay is rewarded with a setup that suits you better than anything else, or at least anything else costing a lot more.

If you think scaring folks away from such satisfying learning experiences is wise, well... I'll refrain from commenting on that.
