If you are a CS researcher, the chances are the computing infrastructure you need is very cheap. If you only develop algorithms and software, your computing requirements are probably an order of magnitude smaller than for people who use the stuff you developed in their research. And even your data is often just something you downloaded from a public source, because you needed something with the right combinatorial and statistical properties.
