Modernist Cooking - Centrifuges

So we here at Man Meets Stove have been admiring the modernist chefs use of centrifuges to make interesting things, like Pea Butter (blended frozen peas spun in a centrifuge for 3 hours to make a puck of pea starch, pea oil, and a little "pea butter".  Apparently it is absolutely the sex of peas.  

We have started looking for an inexpensive lab centrifuge to try this miracle substance, and ran across this advice: 

Rule #1 - Never buy a centrifuge when the eBay address is Yucca Mountain, Nevada or Hanford, Washington nuclear facilities.

Rule #2 - See rule #1

Thanks, JBailey.  Duly noted.
