Probably the lowest price you'll find. I bought one from this website a couple of weeks ago for $32.

I love the project automation side of those boards. They make some cool Halloween projects with them.
Are you a pretty good programmer? I'd like to get into it but frankly, I don't even know where to start.

I currently have 2 RP3s. One I run Pi-Hole on and RetroPie, although I don't do much gaming. The other I just got to set up digital signage in the kitchen.
The digital signage one is running screenly. It's rotating through the following screens:
DakBoard: Displays calendar events, weather, and currently has The Advocate's RSS feed for headlines.
Google Calendar: Displaying my daughter's school lunch menu so she can decide if she wants to bring her lunch or not.
Screenly Weather App: Just threw it up there to compare it to weather underground's forecast. It's currently in beta, and I won't pay for it.
I think these boards will be 2 years old in February, so not sure when a RP4 might be released.

I really need a RPi4 to come along, this one just doesn't have enough ummph for one of my projects.
I have a retropie with kodi on every TV in my house now.
I have a homebridge home automation one for Siri control of all my smart devices that don't use homekit.
I've seriously been considering turning one of my wife's mirrors into a smart mirror. Getting a big touchscreen has my biggest draw back to that one.
Have a few other RPi projects I dabble in too.

Forget the touchscreen. Use a tv for monitor and Xbox Kinect wired to Pi for gesture control.
No fingerprints on mirror
I've got several arduino projects. Have done some toying around with Pi, just haven't needed the added functionality in any application yet

Anybody using Node Red, Cayenne, or Blink for RPI projects? They have really opened the door for idiots like me who don't have a clue how to code but want to create their own IoT sensor projects.
I prefer Node Red because it has way more functionality (way beyond my capabilities) but Cayenne is much easier to use and create basic functions/triggers quickly, it is just very buggy.
