- Even though the work on this build didn't get serious until late last year, I was buying my first RPis in June 2012. It would not have been possible to choose the Odroid U3 for anything at that time. (As far as I know, it was only just released about a month ago.)
- I wanted 32+ nodes in this cluster.
- "And the maximum order quantity is limited to one unit for one person." - I could have gotten around that, but it would have been a pain and there probably would have been a lot of shipping to pay out.
But if you want to build a cluster of Odroid U3s, I encourage you to do so. It sounds like it would be pretty sweet.
