What has happened to Raspberry Pi?

[Dr_Jeff]

I saw a rack on Amazon that allows one to run R Pis in a cluster, several held four along with 2.5" ssd hard drives, others as many as twenty.

What would one do with that many R Pis, running in cluster mode?

I use them for building Fermentrack/KegScreen. One running 64 bit, one running 32 bit, one running a test environment for docker, and one running my 3D printer and label printer.

Yes, they have gone up, but do not buy from Amazon. Check out Buy CanaKit Raspberry Pi Kits and Raspberry Pi Boards and Accessories Not as bad as Amazon. They have some nice kits.
