Hi want to setup a cluster ( 3-4 )of these machines in order to install a dev/test Docker and Kubernetes environment for myself.

A mate overseas has purchased 4 of these, with 4GB Ram, 32GB sdhc, rack, switch and managed to install Ubuntu headless server, using a Pi 3 as the router to his home network. No need for direct screen attachment as will be logging in via ssh and external keyboard.

Would prefer to buy everything from one dealer, save on delivery, etc

Any suggestions for reliable online shop where to purchase ( I'm based in CT)?
Trying to keep costs to minimum for obvious reasons.

Thanks!

I have always found RS Components to be slightly cheaper than the PiShop and have bought my Pi's from them:

I've bought from PiShop and RS. PiShop is great for some things, but RS is the official distributor of RPi and they offer really fast shipping. I order from them pretty regularly and they always send components to me the day they arrive. Even if they need to deliver 5 times. Highly recommend them over any other supplier. The fact that they are the cheapest is just a bonus.

Only reason I don't always order from RS is 1) Price (not a problem because they are cheaper) and 2) Shipping cost (free over R1k which you easily meet)

I recently ordered an 8GB Pi4 for R1100 from Digikey. They are based in the USA but have a co.za address. Total order (R4500) was over R2000 so shipping by UPS was free. Had to pay R800 in customs. I will use them again
