The Gates Foundation established a value of $2600 per computer for computers to be purchased in Phase II of the Opportunity Online Hardware Grant. Factored into this value is the understanding that, in addition to purchasing computers, a library can use some of these funds to purchase printers, peripherals, and the training and tech support needed to keep the computers in good working order.
