I realized after reading this thread that I also have collected like 5 or 6 3b+ pi units over time. what kind of cluster stuff are y'all doing with yours? anything particularly neat? or just niche things? both?!?!?

Are you the rear end in a top hat who sniped me every time I was trying to get a 3B on ebay??

no I've never bought any of them. just gotten them to keep after doing various work projects over the years where the client didn't need them after the job was done.

Seems like the best bet is to try and preorder:

I haven't seen them up anywhere else, although it's possible someone will try to resell theirs for a mark up on eBay.

I can't recall where, but I think I saw some online earlier today that were available, but only the lower ram models....unless I'm thinking of the 4...

Maybe a stupid question, but I'd like to do a cluster case and I don't want to buy a bunch of poe hats so I'm wondering, is it reasonable/practical to get some kind of powered USB hub to mount on the side of the cluster case, and then just run short USB cables out to that and power the hub so there's only one outlet space taken up? Is this a thing that's possible? Do people do this? They're all 3b+ and there would be a minimum of 4 of them and a maximum of 8.

Hopefully someone knows this, but is there a name for that type of mount? The 2 rounded tab things with the holes in them, like you'd attach to a GoPro mount?
