How about the Adapteva $99 66-core "supercomputer"?
http://www.hpcwire.com/hpcwire/2013-04-23/adapteva_shows_off_$99_supercomputer_boards.html

It has started shipping but it has not a "buy now" button yet, just a
"waiting list": http://www.adapteva.com/products/eval-kits/parallella/

Man, this field is moving fast!

Cheers,
Davide
