WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.080 In recent years, tariffs have become a key strategy for the United States by implementing 00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:11.520 a sales tax on nearly everything that Americans buy from out of country. 00:00:11.520 --> 00:00:17.320 But in Brazil, they've been kicking that rock for half a century. 00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:22.720 How's that going for them? To find out, I bought all of this tech from Brazil. 00:00:22.720 --> 00:00:26.920 Now, I've never lived in Brazil, but I have. 00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:31.200 This is Ricardo, who does some of our thumbnails, and he's going to be showing us how to survive 00:00:31.200 --> 00:00:36.960 when the government wants a 93% cut on all of your electronics. 00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:40.800 Do you shop Aliexpress and just hope the seller lies on the customers' forms? 00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:45.320 Do you buy lesser-known or white-label brands in order to get a better deal? 00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:49.720 What is super-framed memory? And why does it also have Kingston branding on it? 00:00:49.720 --> 00:00:53.520 We're just getting started. This is already so difficult. How do you navigate this? 00:00:53.800 --> 00:00:59.760 Well, you do a little bit of this, a little bit of that. You can shop online, or you can go to a tech shop, and they're going to put something together. 00:00:59.760 --> 00:01:07.680 Brilliant, then that means we did the right thing. Our friends Davi and Roberto actually put together not one, but two Brazilian builds for us. 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:12.680 On one side, we've got a pretty good gaming PC by Brazilian standards, and on the other 00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:17.760 side, we've got one of the cheapest builds that you could put together pretty much anywhere. 00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:21.640 And as you're about to see, both of these are a little different from what you'd find 00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:25.400 if you just fired up the new egg and shopped the most popular components. 00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:28.400 Now, let's shop the most popular segue. 00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:29.400 Yeah, chop a sponsor. 00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.760 You've never built a PC before. No. Would you describe that as sexier than this one? 00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:47.560 Well, this one has more swag or more molho, as we say in Brazil, you know? 00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:54.960 Me, sauce. And the sauce starts with a Superframe, that brand again, B450M motherboard. 00:01:54.960 --> 00:02:00.880 Well, it turns out Asrock sells these boards in bulk to white label brands like Superframe, 00:02:00.880 --> 00:02:05.680 who slap their label on them and then handle the logistical headaches of selling in Latin 00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:10.760 America. One of the headaches that Superframe handles is doing the final assembly of these things 00:02:10.760 --> 00:02:15.040 in the ZFM in order to get massive tax exemptions. 00:02:15.040 --> 00:02:21.920 This workaround allows some reasonably modern tech to be legally made in Brazil, resulting 00:02:21.920 --> 00:02:28.360 in pricing that is somewhat close to what you might pay elsewhere. 00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:32.760 But they're not typically going to stock higher end parts, because even without tariffs, 00:02:32.760 --> 00:02:38.520 not many could afford it. Moving on to our CPU, we've got something that's familiar and yet unfamiliar. 00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:43.240 It's a Ryzen CPU with 3DV cache exclusive to Latin America. 00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:48.920 Why is that? Well, this allows them to have something that's affordable for that market, but that is not 00:02:48.920 --> 00:02:53.640 as easy to price compare in the other more affluent markets. 00:02:53.640 --> 00:02:57.800 Also, by having a discrete SKU, they make it a little bit more difficult for the gray 00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:04.520 marketers who would otherwise grab chips, just like game keys, for instance, from developing 00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:09.200 markets, and then transfer them over to more affluent markets in order to make more margin 00:03:09.200 --> 00:03:12.200 on them. Of course. Of course. 00:03:12.200 --> 00:03:19.120 Want to go ahead and install it? Okay, let's go. I've had some experience building computers the last time I did was just tearing down 00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.120 my iMac. Okay. Oh, sorry. 00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:26.520 What did I miss? We don't want to touch the pins on the bottom. 00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:33.640 If these get bent, that's bad. You might have noticed AM4 is still super popular in Latin America just because of the affordability 00:03:33.640 --> 00:03:39.160 both of the chips, motherboards, and of course, the DDR4 memory. 00:03:39.160 --> 00:03:44.120 In fact, it's so popular that ASUS has apparently been ramping up production of AM4 boards to 00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:48.040 serve the Latin American market. Oh, wow. I'll be right over here. 00:03:48.040 --> 00:03:52.120 Hopefully, don't break anything. Brilliant. Now let's talk about my system. 00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:57.720 As you might have noticed, Ricardo has already spent over 300 US dollars on his bougie Brazilian 00:03:57.720 --> 00:04:00.720 system. That's way out of reach for many families. 00:04:00.720 --> 00:04:06.880 That's where boards like this Zsus from AliExpress come in, not to be confused with ASUS or the 00:04:06.880 --> 00:04:12.340 Greek god. Step one, harvest the chipsets from retired server motherboards. 00:04:12.340 --> 00:04:18.760 Step two, do some BIOS black magic to enable modern features like M.2 SSDs. 00:04:18.760 --> 00:04:24.220 And step three, sell them for pennies on the dollar to developing markets. 00:04:24.220 --> 00:04:31.220 This motherboard plus the older generation 12 core Xeon that's installed plus this 16 00:04:31.220 --> 00:04:36.780 gig stick of ECC DDR4 memory all came to just $56. 00:04:36.780 --> 00:04:41.220 It's not the most modern thing, but as you guys are going to see later, many e-sports 00:04:41.220 --> 00:04:45.060 titles will run just fine on it. What a deal that was. 00:04:45.060 --> 00:04:53.540 And I say was because it was so good that Brazil went and slapped a 93% tax on anything 00:04:53.540 --> 00:04:57.340 off AliExpress more than 50 US dollars. 00:04:57.340 --> 00:05:03.760 Absolutely freaking brutal. So then like what? Would people just have to order the parts piecemeal and just pay shipping three times to get 00:05:03.760 --> 00:05:07.500 around it? Something like that or you have a friend that goes abroad and you ask, hey, can you bring 00:05:07.500 --> 00:05:10.660 something for me in your luggage? That's the way we do it. 00:05:10.660 --> 00:05:15.260 Or don't not legal advice. 00:05:15.260 --> 00:05:20.060 As for Ricardo's RAM, he's going to be using DDR4 just like me, but he's going to be using 00:05:20.060 --> 00:05:27.500 much faster DDR4 unlike me 3200 megatransters per second versus the 2,133 of my generic 00:05:27.500 --> 00:05:34.260 server memory. Now, Davi and Roberto did suggest that faster RAM might actually be a worthwhile upgrade 00:05:34.260 --> 00:05:41.620 even for my system. But a brand name like Superframe might be out of reach for this customer. 00:05:41.620 --> 00:05:48.100 So we also grabbed this ninja gaming DDR4 hurricane for $11 less. 00:05:48.100 --> 00:05:54.020 Now $11 difference might seem pretty small, but that's like 50 Brazilian dollars and could 00:05:54.020 --> 00:05:59.260 be the difference between buy now or realistically buy now pay later. 00:05:59.260 --> 00:06:03.220 You were saying BNPL is like super common. Yeah. 00:06:03.220 --> 00:06:07.460 I mean, since I grew up, this is just regular adulting the way you buy stuff. 00:06:07.460 --> 00:06:11.900 In Brazil, that's like common. You can even like do it with your lunch. 00:06:11.900 --> 00:06:15.580 Are the interest rates lower maybe then? So that's a tricky thing. 00:06:15.580 --> 00:06:18.940 Usually they say you don't get any interest in those purchases. 00:06:18.940 --> 00:06:22.780 However, if you buy anything full price, you get 10% off. 00:06:22.780 --> 00:06:26.980 So it's like halal mortgages where it's like, oh, you're not paying interest. 00:06:26.980 --> 00:06:32.500 You just pay a fee. Yeah. That's the way you can buy, you know, a fridge or do anything, right? 00:06:32.500 --> 00:06:35.580 You need to buy installments. All right. Now it's time for you to installments. 00:06:35.580 --> 00:06:38.580 Some RAM. No pressure, right? No pressure. 00:06:38.580 --> 00:06:42.340 No, no, you'll need some pressure. There we go. 00:06:42.340 --> 00:06:46.380 Nice. At my very limited budget, even though this would more than double my memory bandwidth, 00:06:46.380 --> 00:06:50.720 I'm still going to see if I can get away without it. And let's move on to our storage. 00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:56.580 We're both using the Kingston NV2. We didn't order any storage from Brazil, but Kingston's a big brand there. 00:06:56.580 --> 00:07:02.780 Now it's time to talk case and cooling. And once again, you get way better stuff than me. 00:07:02.780 --> 00:07:11.340 Another super frame part. This time, it's actually a really compelling looking case for the equivalent of 85 US dollars. 00:07:11.340 --> 00:07:15.300 Not to mention glass. It's not even acrylic. 00:07:15.300 --> 00:07:22.660 Then you got this 360 millimeter, also RGB AIO cooler for just $55. 00:07:22.660 --> 00:07:28.220 I want it for me. Does it have enough sauce? Yeah, enough sauce, enough sauce on this one. 00:07:28.220 --> 00:07:33.060 All right, you want to get started on that? Well I showed them what I ended up with. 00:07:33.060 --> 00:07:39.740 Meet the Gamer Ninja Eraser for $29.07. 00:07:39.740 --> 00:07:43.740 What makes this eraser? Well, let me tell you. 00:07:43.740 --> 00:07:50.020 First it erased how much money I had to spend because this case, not to mention my Gamdias 00:07:50.020 --> 00:07:55.220 Boreus heat sink cost less than just Ricardo's cooler. 00:07:55.220 --> 00:08:03.860 And I haven't even shown you guys the best part yet. It has an LED switch on the front that changes the color of the lighting behind this included 00:08:03.860 --> 00:08:06.860 doodle board. How long has Chuck Marker been sitting? It reminds of college, right? 00:08:06.860 --> 00:08:15.500 Oh man. No. I'll keep you in here along with all my other PC building stuff. 00:08:15.500 --> 00:08:19.500 Brilliant. Oh, there they are. These are all my SSDs for the Linux challenge. 00:08:19.500 --> 00:08:22.740 I thought I lost them. Right. TechSack. 00:08:22.740 --> 00:08:25.740 So many pockets. Just don't lose things in it. How you doing over here? 00:08:25.740 --> 00:08:29.580 Well, I'm going to need your help. I'm a Mac user. 00:08:29.580 --> 00:08:33.340 Here's what you're going to do. This right here, just like that. 00:08:33.340 --> 00:08:37.580 Boom. Meanwhile in Linus Land, I don't even know if these are compatible. 00:08:37.580 --> 00:08:40.580 Oh yeah. Okay. There we go. 00:08:40.580 --> 00:08:43.580 Okay. So you can do it just like that. Okay. 00:08:43.580 --> 00:08:46.580 You've got your own syringe though. You've got a fancier one than me. Oh, that's lots. 00:08:46.580 --> 00:08:49.580 That's a lot? Oh yeah. Okay. 00:08:49.580 --> 00:08:52.580 That's perfect. Okay. Yep. 00:08:52.580 --> 00:08:55.580 I've never done this before, man. You've got to tell me. Hey, so is that in? 00:08:55.580 --> 00:08:59.220 Did you do it? I need to attach this guy, I assume. Yeah. 00:08:59.220 --> 00:09:02.620 Let's do that. So I just need to glue these guys on top of the processor? 00:09:02.620 --> 00:09:05.620 Okay. Sure. Yeah. 00:09:05.620 --> 00:09:08.620 The thermal paste. How would you say that? Contact those two? 00:09:08.620 --> 00:09:11.620 I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. 00:09:11.620 --> 00:09:14.620 Yeah. You just put it on there. Okay. 00:09:14.620 --> 00:09:17.620 And then I put this guy right there. Yep. Trying to glue stuff over there. 00:09:17.620 --> 00:09:20.620 Okay. I'm going to put this in. It'll be exciting. 00:09:20.620 --> 00:09:25.860 Oh. Let's talk about the power supply. Normally, we kind of gloss over the power supply because for your popular North American 00:09:25.860 --> 00:09:30.220 brands, they're pretty much all going to be at least good enough. 00:09:30.220 --> 00:09:34.940 So your choice pretty much comes down to how much do you want to spend on extras like modular 00:09:34.940 --> 00:09:49.780 cables or super high efficiency ratings. This time, I actually don't recognize either my BRX650W or Ricardo's DUEX Pulse 800W. 00:09:49.780 --> 00:09:53.900 So I felt it would be a really good idea to get our Labs team to take a closer look 00:09:53.940 --> 00:09:57.140 at these before we use them. 00:09:57.140 --> 00:10:01.340 Linus's unit is a pretty inexpensive option and in our testing, it couldn't sustain anywhere 00:10:01.340 --> 00:10:05.380 near its rated 651 output, capping out around 400 watts instead. 00:10:05.380 --> 00:10:11.740 As for Ricardo's DUEX Pulse, it's more than double the price. And while it isn't a top performer, it should comfortably do what it says on the box. 00:10:11.740 --> 00:10:15.100 In our brownout test, both of these power supplies turned out lower than the standard 00:10:15.100 --> 00:10:21.540 and recommended 12 to 16 milliseconds we typically see. We also looked at the voltage regulation and voltage ripple results and you can find those 00:10:21.580 --> 00:10:25.700 in the LTT Labs Companion article linked below. What do I do with a modular cable? 00:10:25.700 --> 00:10:30.300 What is it made for? One benefit is you only use the cables that you want, so you don't have to have any extras 00:10:30.300 --> 00:10:35.940 so it can look a little bit tidier. But I can understand how for a lot of people that might not be that big of a deal. 00:10:35.940 --> 00:10:42.500 That's not bad at all. Some of the PSUs are short for Labs. They have all the cables attached and it's so cumbersome to move around and I can see 00:10:42.500 --> 00:10:47.020 the benefit for sure. Well, that's going to be me because I did not get a modular power supply. 00:10:47.020 --> 00:10:52.380 Sorry. It paid less than half as much as you did though, so Cardo's doing pretty good over 00:10:52.380 --> 00:10:55.380 here though. Can I help you? Yeah, of course, please. 00:10:55.380 --> 00:10:58.380 There you go. Okay, got you. Yeah, so we pull that fresh air in from the outside. 00:10:58.380 --> 00:11:01.660 So about these ones? And then how do you usually go? Do you go like underneath? 00:11:01.660 --> 00:11:05.460 You go however, look, sauce to you. 00:11:05.460 --> 00:11:08.500 Oh, now look at that. 00:11:08.500 --> 00:11:14.620 So clean. So fresh, so clean. This is like a perfectly-cromulent, modern motherboard. 00:11:14.620 --> 00:11:19.900 But I guess the budget is just the problem. We have to reach people in Brazil who would be able to afford these. 00:11:19.900 --> 00:11:22.900 Fair enough. Yeah, but like the regular Joe, he would have trouble. 00:11:22.900 --> 00:11:26.660 It's nice to have cable management loops and even such a budget-oriented case, but 00:11:26.660 --> 00:11:32.060 I got to say, did they have to put all of the loops right in front of the pass-through 00:11:32.060 --> 00:11:37.540 holes? So they're like right there. Oh, so this is a rookie power supply manufacturer mistake. 00:11:37.540 --> 00:11:47.660 Why is the sticker upside down? Overframe makes another triumphant appearance here, epic graphics card, special edition. 00:11:47.660 --> 00:11:54.420 While we could spend another $100 on an RTX 5050 for a more up-to-date feature set, this 00:11:54.420 --> 00:12:01.340 is already a ton of money to spend and that 5050 might not perform as much better compared 00:12:01.340 --> 00:12:08.860 to this as you might think. See, for starters, the raw performance uplift over the last couple of generations has not 00:12:08.860 --> 00:12:18.660 been as much as gamers were used to seeing in the past. And for another thing, the 5050 uses only eight PCIe lanes, half as many as the 3060. 00:12:18.660 --> 00:12:22.980 If we were putting it in a modern system, that doesn't really matter because those eight 00:12:22.980 --> 00:12:26.380 lanes on the 5050 are so much faster. 00:12:26.380 --> 00:12:32.100 But if you're using an older motherboard, your GPU is going to fall back to the older 00:12:32.100 --> 00:12:38.860 speed for its lanes. So the fact that it only has eight of them and they're going to be operating at a quarter 00:12:38.860 --> 00:12:43.700 of the speed that that GPU expects means that you can run into performance bottlenecks. 00:12:43.700 --> 00:12:51.660 Meanwhile, the 3060, it's Gen 4 and it's going in a Gen 3 board, but at least it has 16 Gen 00:12:51.660 --> 00:12:56.100 4 lanes. So it's getting half the speed it expects as opposed to a quarter. 00:12:56.100 --> 00:13:03.900 Meanwhile, for my system, I get a Radeon RX 580 from 2017. 00:13:03.900 --> 00:13:10.940 This is the part that doesn't end, yes it goes on and on my friends. 00:13:10.940 --> 00:13:15.060 While it's almost ten years old, it can still play many of the titles that are popular 00:13:15.060 --> 00:13:20.580 in Brazil, like League of Legends and even Valorant, with some asterisks. 00:13:20.580 --> 00:13:25.500 It is worth noting that we went with the eight gigs of VRAM version, yes I know, thank you 00:13:25.500 --> 00:13:31.620 tech media. Eight gigs is not enough for 2026, but listen, when the other option is four gigs, we take 00:13:31.620 --> 00:13:37.460 the eight gigs. Fun fact, one of the reasons that these are so commonly available is that these cards, 00:13:37.460 --> 00:13:41.340 especially the eight gig versions, were extremely popular with crypto miners. 00:13:41.340 --> 00:13:44.780 Those GPUs and that VRAM has been through some stuff. 00:13:44.780 --> 00:13:48.500 Can't speak to the reliability, but still a perfectly prominent gaming card. 00:13:48.500 --> 00:13:52.500 Hey, nice, not bad. Not bad. Once again, all this goes back there though. 00:13:52.500 --> 00:13:56.340 Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's good, it's good. 00:13:56.340 --> 00:14:00.140 You just built a computer. Oh, my first PC. 00:14:00.140 --> 00:14:03.740 It's the PC building World Cup. Brazil won. 00:14:03.740 --> 00:14:09.220 Well, that's the only thing that we're going to win, because the soccer team. 00:14:09.220 --> 00:14:13.140 What are the odds this turns on the first time? Come on. 00:14:13.140 --> 00:14:17.860 One thing that Brazilians have is faith, so you've got to be a bit Brazilian here now. 00:14:17.860 --> 00:14:20.860 Okay. All right, I believe. Let's face things up. 00:14:20.860 --> 00:14:24.060 Oh, we have some more stuff though. We have monitors. 00:14:24.100 --> 00:14:27.260 I assume this one's yours. Yeah, come on. 00:14:27.260 --> 00:14:32.540 Oh, yeah, he gets the Super Frame. He always gets the Super Frame. 00:14:32.540 --> 00:14:40.700 What's up with that? I'm the guest. 1440p, 180 Hertz, IPS panel for 130 bucks. 00:14:40.700 --> 00:14:47.540 Not bad. Not bad. I mean, as long as you're making North American income, I guess that would be very expensive 00:14:47.540 --> 00:14:52.980 in Brazil, I assume. Wow. This has a lot of inputs for a budget monitor. 00:14:52.980 --> 00:14:57.420 Two HDMI's and two DP's. 00:14:57.420 --> 00:15:02.020 Don't break my monitor. Well, I'll leave you to do that, and I'm going to assemble mine. 00:15:02.020 --> 00:15:07.700 Now, that's glossy. That looks so sad next to yours. 00:15:07.700 --> 00:15:12.780 Yeah, maybe I guess size does matter, right? 00:15:12.780 --> 00:15:18.420 It even has a really small VESA pattern. It has no DisplayPort and no DVI. 00:15:18.420 --> 00:15:24.260 It only has VGA and HDMI, and it's especially funny because HDMI is the one that costs more 00:15:24.260 --> 00:15:32.220 to implement on your product, but if you're going to have just one, all right, 75 Hertz. 00:15:32.220 --> 00:15:39.100 That looks decent. Right? Yeah, you've obviously got some upscaling on, and honestly, it looks like you might even 00:15:39.100 --> 00:15:44.980 have a little bit of frame gen on. In terms of the experience of gaming on that versus what I'm about to do here. 00:15:44.980 --> 00:15:48.820 This is decent, for sure. Oh, my. 00:15:48.820 --> 00:15:51.860 Okay. Oh, geez, that looks bad. 00:15:51.860 --> 00:15:57.180 You barely have any shadows on that one. Listen, Mac guy, how many shadows does your Mac have? 00:15:57.180 --> 00:16:05.660 Fair enough. Oh, wow. I am not getting that many fewer FPS compared to Ricardo, but my game is running at a lower 00:16:05.660 --> 00:16:09.300 resolution and much lower details. 00:16:09.300 --> 00:16:12.300 This looks like low everything. 00:16:12.300 --> 00:16:17.260 Low everything and image sharpening and FSR upscaling. 00:16:17.260 --> 00:16:21.500 There's not a lot of NPCs that due to the power of the computer or no? 00:16:21.500 --> 00:16:26.420 No. You just are in the middle of nowhere, super resolution, no frame gen. 00:16:26.420 --> 00:16:30.580 Wow, okay. You even got ray tracing on. 00:16:30.580 --> 00:16:35.460 That is pretty darn impressive. RTX 3060 is still a de-scarred, hey? 00:16:35.460 --> 00:16:40.100 If we're being real, though, my system was never designed to handle cyberpunk, why don't 00:16:40.100 --> 00:16:43.460 we try something a little more esportsy? 12 cores. 00:16:43.460 --> 00:16:47.220 Only at 2.2 gigahertz, but damn, 12 cores. 00:16:47.220 --> 00:16:53.020 I've definitely sold that processor for like $1,500 in servers before. 00:16:53.020 --> 00:17:01.260 Check out this keyboard. Man, I can barely tell the difference between T's and CT's with how bad the color is on 00:17:01.260 --> 00:17:04.260 this display. It's unbelievable. What the? 00:17:04.260 --> 00:17:08.860 Come on, man. Actually, leg killed. 00:17:08.860 --> 00:17:13.140 That was not my fault. Oh my God, that was my fault. 00:17:13.140 --> 00:17:16.540 Oh, it's so, oh, it's so hitchy. 00:17:16.540 --> 00:17:21.540 Hitch, please. I'm only getting like 60 FPS. 00:17:21.540 --> 00:17:26.680 He's getting triple my average FPS and almost quadruple my 1% lows. 00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:29.780 That makes for a much better gaming experience. 00:17:29.780 --> 00:17:33.580 Oh no. Do you see that? 00:17:33.580 --> 00:17:37.220 How it's not tracking what I'm doing at all? 00:17:38.220 --> 00:17:41.340 Yeah, fast movements. It's losing it. 00:17:41.340 --> 00:17:44.340 You can definitely see it. Yeah. Mine, it doesn't even matter whether I'm moving fast. 00:17:44.340 --> 00:17:51.700 This is brutal. So what I thought was actually the system lagging sometimes is just the mouse losing tracking. 00:17:51.700 --> 00:17:55.340 So I don't turn. This is so frustrating trying to play with this. 00:17:55.340 --> 00:17:58.420 A better mouse would solve a lot of my issues right now though. 00:17:58.420 --> 00:18:03.580 Like 60 FPS, 75, 100 FPS, that's playable. 00:18:03.580 --> 00:18:08.500 Very playable. Okay. 00:18:08.500 --> 00:18:11.500 Okay. Exactly. Not great. 00:18:11.500 --> 00:18:15.260 Okay. Okay. And maybe that's okay. 00:18:15.260 --> 00:18:19.980 Sometimes you just got to work with what the piggy bank allows and both of these PCs delivered 00:18:19.980 --> 00:18:24.340 a pretty playable experience considering the budget that we had to work with. 00:18:24.340 --> 00:18:29.620 Yes, Ricardo's performs anywhere from two to four times better, but it also cost about 00:18:29.620 --> 00:18:36.260 three times as much. And considering the policies that Brazilians have to work around, you got to admire the 00:18:36.260 --> 00:18:42.540 tenacity and the can-do spirit and the, what's the word, the visitor told me? 00:18:42.540 --> 00:18:45.540 Gambiaja. Yeah. Yeah. 00:18:45.540 --> 00:18:48.860 So with all context of all of that, it makes sense why these parts were recommended. 00:18:48.860 --> 00:18:53.500 I can't say that I would necessarily recommend these parts if you're living in North America. 00:18:53.500 --> 00:18:58.260 At least not at the moment, but hey, who knows if US policies keep tracking the direction 00:18:58.260 --> 00:19:01.260 they're going, maybe we're going to end up in a similar situation. 00:19:01.980 --> 00:19:06.460 Cool. And cool segue to our sponsor. 00:19:06.460 --> 00:19:10.420 It's worth pointing out budget PCs also exist in North America. 00:19:10.420 --> 00:19:14.780 And while some of them are similar, like these old Xeon combos, some of them look a fair 00:19:14.780 --> 00:19:18.180 bit different than what's being thrown together in Brazil. 00:19:18.180 --> 00:19:23.900 Don't believe me? Well, I challenged four tech YouTubers to build a PC for under $1,000 and you guys can 00:19:23.900 --> 00:19:27.100 check out what they ended up with. 00:19:27.100 --> 00:19:28.100 Where does the video go?
