> I found 10 Intel Galileo dev kits, new in box, left at our local recycling center on the "Free: Take Me Home" shelf.
Looks like an opportunity for a cluster in a picture frame. Did you get them?
I have one, a 4 RPI Zero W cluster in an Ikea picture frame:

Are you kidding? Of course I got them! :-)
It was actually better than that: they were in bulk boxes of five, there were at least eight such boxes. I took two, just to have one to play with and to get them out of the elements (they were on shelf that's partially protected on one side by a metal storage shed, but the shelf is just standing outdoors)..
I stopped by the local makerspace a day or two later, to let them know. I don't know what became of them.
My boxes got shoved to the back of the project queue and it's been about a year now. I just got them out about a week ago, looking into building the new firmware images.
These Intel Galileo dev kits are quite a bit bigger than a typical Arduino. They have the standard dual row inline headers of an Arduino (I think its pin-compatible), but lots more IO. There's Ethernet, for instance. Nearly the size of a Pico-ITX form factor.
