Hmm, must be hard to be in one of the main economies of the planet.
After all, it's a lot of work for manufacturers to make boards different
just for one country. Costs so so much more.

Sorry, just having a hard time believing you.

I haven't been asked to build a computer with a serial port recently, but unless it is in fact non-negotiable, the increase in the price of building such a computer seems unreasonably high for technology that is many years behind even today's low-end budget technology. As not only a computer builder but also an advisor to people who want to build their own machines, I find it very hard to sell anyone such outdated and obsolete technology, especially if it causes the price of the machine to jump significantly. If a serial port is a strict requirement, perhaps the used workstation is in fact the best option.
