"Low cost" devices Raspberry Pi Zero CHIP Orange Pi (Description, Purchase) NanoPi 2 Fire

The CHIP is my favorite, but isn't available to purchase in large quantities. Same goes for the RPi Zero.

The Orange Pi is the only one really available and is $10 per part, but closer to $25 with an SD card, power and shipping. Comparably, the RPi is around $45 per part considering power and SD card.

Can we PXE boot RPis?

We have a couple of power strips that we will bring. For the CHIP, "Estimated Shipping November 2016." sounds risky.

Personally, the idea of "tinkering" rather than buying something more ready-made is appealing, but not if it's likely to significantly increase the time it would likely take to get this off the ground.
