gollark: $30 for a cluster *and* peripherals? No.
gollark: Again, less so in perf/$.
gollark: Like I said, it isn't good for anything but learning clustering, since most stuff will not actually conveniently parallelize across devices and x86 systems offer more perf/$.
gollark: Clustered RPis aren't actually that good for much beyond cheaply learning clustering tech.
gollark: They're pretty cool, although not really optimal for more electronicsy things since the SoC is apparently for TV boxes.
