Neither is their existing product. Of course, I don't live in the USA.

In actuality, of course, there's no real problem with using a Class A
computing device in a home. You might have a bit of a problem in a
wood-frame apartment building, but it's pretty easy to put a crummy
looking RF shield around it. I quite often have my NeXT and my PC
running at the same time, and have never observed any TV interference or
anything similar.
