By the decree of August 9, 2017 No. 593, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine amended the maximum amounts of expenditures for the acquisition of computers by state bodies, as well as institutions and organizations that are maintained at the expense of the state budget.
The decision was made "in connection with the growth of prices for computer equipment".
According to the changes, the boundary value of a personal computer (system unit, monitor, keyboard, mouse, operating system) or laptop should not exceed 20 thousand 500 hryvnas. This is by 7,500 hryvnia more than before.
This norm does not apply to the purchase of a personal computer and laptop purchased from the Foreign Ministry, the Ministry of Defense and its intelligence agency, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Security Service of Ukraine, the National Guard, the National Police, the State Border Service, the Foreign Intelligence Service, which are protected from external influences (vibration, humidity, impact, temperature) , The State Service for Special Communications and Information Protection, the State Special Transport Service, the State Emergency Service and the State Security Agency.
We decided to take a hypothetical 20500 hryvnia and check, with the help of one of the online designers, whether it is possible to collect for this money a gaming computer for a budget institution. As it turned out - quite.
