Believe it or not, I can easily find a cheaper assembled desktop pc from my country than in UAE. As such, I plan ot build one & bring it in. Question is, would that be a problem as UAE is a tax free country.

In uae, there is no custom-fees as far as the device is for personal use.

You will not be charged anything.
