Intel keeps coming out with $300 boards and boxes while talking about them being like the raspberry pi. Intel simply does not seem to understand the concept of cheap and low power hardware.
And thus was born the Berrywulf, in a conversation at the office awhile ago: if Intel wants to compare their offering at $300, then it's only fair to compare it to $300 worth of Raspberry Pis and a FastE switch set up as a Beowulf cluster. We'd have a lot more HDMI and USB ports that way too! I did footnote that it'd be crazy to actually build one and it was for price comparison purposes only. It'd be a good kind of crazy, though. -- Anthony de Boer
