I wouldn't call it unethical.  If you have a hardware vendor you trust and
have a good relationship with, they may send you demo hardware or send it
on a PO basis, where you get it free for 30 or 45 days with the expecation
you either return it or pay the PO.  Be up front about it with your
hardware monger.  They worst they say is "no".
