A raspi with 16gb of ram WTF!? why not just get a SFF PC instead at that point? Unless you specifically need portability or pin IO, I don't see the appeal of raspi anymore, especially at those prices (almost $400!!!)

    I bought several of them when they were 120. But yea at current rate, not really worth it. I will say it's nice running them off of PoE. Keeps my energy bill lower.
