I understand their policy, but you might want to mention something to their accounting department in passing. Something along the lines of "I'm concerned about the IRS designating me as an employee instead of a contractor since you are supplying me a regular place to work, and supplying my tools. I'm sure it'd be much easier to defend a contractor relationship if I brought in my own PC." You might want to go to the IRS website and search for contractor or employee. There are a number of standard tests an auditor will apply to a relationship to determine such.
