Can be hard enough hiding 2 or 3 "unapproved" purchases. Imagine 70!

Oh no, no supercomputers here (although that might have been interesting to try, but I'm pretty sure my NVIDIA TK1 does a better job). Joke aside, they are for my graduate engineering school.

Yep. My girlfriend tends to get annoyed when I receive two or three boards to play with, so imagine her face when I received 70!

Actually, that is exactly what happened. I'm an IoT lecturer, and this was a gift from a local company. They are currently sleeping safely in my home office, but tomorrow they will go to their new home, and wait patiently for students to come up with projects (or until I assign them projects)

I agree. Half of the amount of RPI would be enough for a classroom of students. That's the type of cluster I would build.
