better get orange pi , cheaper i guess / better performance per $$
RPi as desktop is slow as hell if used for anything demanding (like YT in a browser).
Generally they are by 5V input also idiotic to power large scale, but 10 is not really large anyway.
And as noted, original RPi is just bad per $ unless you can use (and obtain) zero's.
How much is The rest?
non-zeros might be more expensive, but the rpi3 is more powerful than a zero and has a built-in network port which is quite handy when using it as a server.
right, i assumed they have the network port also fan out, makes no sense without...
You'll need one of these too, :P
The Pi is not cheap desktop at all, it's low form factor devprotoboard.
I mean, I've used it as desktop for months and you'll have to be quite patient. Not forget to mention that the pi3 overheats as a normal load desktop.
