buying several Raspberry PIs and creating a kind of server cluster with them.
Why? Why Not?
I may also eventually expand the cluster into a kind of command center for my family's network.

I am doing this myself. I bought one of these and am blown away at the robustness. I bought another, and have 2 more on order.
So far I have made a linux doorbell which has amused me far more than it should. I think I might set one up as a file server and another as web server.

If you use an optical sensor for the button, you can have individual doorbell ring tones, based on fingerprints.

In all seriousness I have been considering doing likewise with the Mele A2000. By all accounts the USB based networking on the PI is not up to clustering but the Mele is. A friend I was working with till recently got one and started experimenting. We came up with a scheme based on a modified Qemu for tying a dozen of them together as a single NUMA machine. In theory you could even run Windows on it. Would take a couple of months work and more than a few dollars but it's a viable scheme.
