Why not get a CM4 with the IO Board? PCIe on the regular Raspberry Pi seems too niche for them to consider.

Because I make clusters: https://camo.githubusercontent.com/af3dccb802848a5f72d41c962...

My most recent one will have 6x raspberries with really nice heatsinks for the 4: http://move.rupy.se/file/pi_4.jpg

The cost of the CM and the ergonomics of the design makes this more expensive than going full Intel Atom!

And the Gflops/watt is exactly the same.

Are there any decent cases for the CM4 with the I/O board? Last time I checked there weren't any.

Not yet. I'm working on a couple designs that I'll 3D print for a couple of my own projects.

It's still hard to find both the IO Board and CM4 in stock though :(
