That is what I am being told.

They are telling me that it is connected with the e.u and getting the 
type approval certification  but they would say that wouldn't they?

Will keep looking for now because if I get something shipped, looks like 
I need to pay import tax and customs.

Ghanks for your help though and I am going to keep hunting.

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builder but also an advisor to people who want to build their own machines, I find it very hard to sell anyone such outdated and obsolete technology, especially if it causes the price of the machine to jump significantly.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.
