Beaglebone Black might be an alternative for you. The graphics resolution isn't as high, in case that is important to you. There is internal flash memory too, but it might not be as convenient to boot from the microSD chip as it is on the Pi.

Expensive. 

Seriously though, a Prototyping Lab?

Thanks to Aaron for reminding me why I'm so darn conflicted about the Raspberry Pi, and why I keep thinking there's probably a better single-board computer for our Pi Lab.

This is a good time for a r3VOLution.
