Key Findings: Buying pre-built in Brazil costs R$ 3,500 to R$ 5,500 (i7 + 32GB + 512GB NVMe). Building with local parts: R$ 4,400 to R$ 6,100. Importing barebone and building: R$ 3,200 to R$ 3,450 (best cost, but with risks). Unlike a conventional desktop, a mini PC has an ultra-compact form factor and uses laptop components. Building a mini PC consists of purchasing a barebone and installing the and yourself. This makes the mini PC market fundamentally different from the traditional desktop market. For the desired configuration (i7, 32GB RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD), the analysis shows that buying everything in Brazil to build costs more or is equivalent to buying pre-built. The most balanced recommendation is: look for deals on pre-built mini PCs with 16GB RAM and upgrade the RAM to 32GB yourself.
