Raspberry Pi Gaming Computer

[Gylfi3_]

Hello everyone, today I would like to know if building a gaming computer out of raspberry pi's is possible. I was thinking that if I made a cluster of 10 model B raspberry pi's it would run at like 7ghz. Is this possible.
Thanks in advance.

Are you suggesting series or parallel? 😀😀

so you wanted to spend $400 on 10 rasberri pi which doesnt include operating systems, cables or peripherals? remember you would need to buy sd cards and power cables too adds up. you would be better off having a budget of $500-600 and building a standard gaming computer. for about $600 you could run even new games on medium or high at playable framerates. for about $500-550 you could hit medium fairly solid. if all you wanted was low performance then you could drop your budget even further.

it would be cheaper and better this way.

didnt some university build a 'super computer' from rasberri pi and leggo? http://www.southampton.ac.uk/~sjc/raspberrypi/

yes but supercomputer =/= gaming machine.

games are not coded to run on supercomputers.

yeh, im not really an expert, i just thought there must be some way to make it work but dont worry

If you just want to have fun building and modding a lower powered PC why not grab this 100 dollar AM1 APU kit? Motherboard, Processer and a nice coolermaster case... Just add a ssd, ram, and a PSU and some modding skills..
