Yes, they would need conversion, but there is plenty of information out there.

I didn't know if this was in aforementioned forum member's remit, so preferred not to assume. But if this is an option to you (which it would appear to be!), you'll end up with a far more capable machine than any other option at comparable price points. Plus it will be new with expert support.
