Computers - Software Hardware : Raspberry Pi - An ARM Computer for $25

They should build them with dual NICs... then you can cluster them .

Still possible with just one NIC. There are the obvious design disadvantages, but it has been done before with other boards (BeagleBoards etc):

Before dual NICs I'd personally want to see PoE first. It'd be nice if they started a line that was solar powered and wireless for sensing network projects. Single charge battery options wouldn't be bad either. I guess there's not much incentive for this yet since arduino covers a lot of these areas.

That looks like a hot mess...LOL.
At least it works .

PoE would work for workstations.

I need a blade enclosure with blades .

This is all really going to take off with either quantum computer, nanotechnology, bio-computing, or some combination of the three.

Watch Out, Raspberry Pi; Via Announces The APC 8750, A $50 Android PC

I recently got an Arduino Uno from Radio Shack. It is not a computer with an operating system but it is programmable in something like the C language.

So things are getting interesting again like the late 70s. These bloated Windows operating systems are worse then the mainframes of the 80s.

um

Radio shack carries a lot of Arduino and maker kits (from make magazine) now. They're getting back to their roots.
