Can someone explain me why so many people out there are building compute clusters out of raspberry pis? I mean, if you are spending 1000€, then you could just buy a PC, even a used one, have an easier time getting computed whatever you want to get computed, have better performance and save a lot of time.

@attilakinali The urge to make a beowulf cluster is strong still, even today?

@trini Hehe... Yes, I did that too... back in 2001...

It was the fastest Beowulf cluster ever! It made a whooping 140km/h! 4 Computer on two separate cars! Driving down a German highway!
