Building on a nonserver hw is a good idea. You could look things up at aliexpress, they almost always have free shipping. Alternatively you can buy stuff in US/EU for cheap and use some service for parcel delivery from there idk, often they deliver super cheap (like us$10-20 for something that would be two timesmore expensive locally)

Government started taxing imports by 50% a few years back, buying from other countries is expensive and means I get no warranty, worst of both worlds sadly

Your decision, we have import tax as well starting from 150 euros or something, I’ve just always written 100 or less. With used hw you often don’t get warranty beyound week or 10 days anyway.

Does matter what you write unfortunately, they checking everything now. I plan on buy new so I can get longer warranty
