I spotted this project from Koichi Nakamura
A mother board approach to a Pi Zero cluster

How very noble of them... 
Nice exercise in seeing price elasticity in action : )
In 12 hours, Cool Components have sold one Pi Zero at that price (assuming they have not replenished).
So their current remainder stock (6) might not entirely deplete for a day or two but will possibly all get sold at that price.
I wonder what the vast majority of Zero's sold to date will be used for. I see a maker need, but still can't see an
education need. Will they be for children who can't purchase the full-blown Pi? But it has no easy way of being used
without additional hardware - which is standard on the larger Pi's.
This is the board I've been using recently.. makes the Zero look enormous. Easy to use - just plug and
play. It's a Cortex-M0 however (all I need for the current application..).
Hi Jack!
Yeah, that's the one, that Paul linked to.
I like that it has a built-in UART to USB, so you can easily interface with a PC if desired without all the USB learning headache.
It uses an IDE called Dave. Some specs from the user guide:
Yeah, that was a neat project
That was my first attempt at having a board commisioned and smd soldering at home. I think it came out pretty good.
It really did come out to right around $5 each
