This is a good idea.
I do have hardware spec requirements and yes I have them sign it once they've seen it. However, I rarely turn down clients because of it. If their hardware is not up to snuff, I do warn them about the performance before I begain work for them.
Work as if you don't need money
Love as if you've never been hurt before
Live as if this is your last day to live
Dance as if no one's watching
