Yes, it is really just a toy, don't really look to them in business.
I think my purpose of UPS monitoring is solid.
I know of nothing else aside from the manufacturer network cards that they charge way too much for.

A Pi does not replace a user's general purpose PC. Maybe in some very special cases or as a thin client.
But there are use cases where a Pi (or similar SBCs) really shines, like @JaredBusch demonstrated. I wouldn't say that it is a toy, at least it's not in the hands of someone who knows what he/she can archive with it.

So where does everyone buy their Pi from?

I've not bought one yet, but they are available from Amazon, Adafruit (pretty sure that is still via Amazon) and a few other sources.
I'd say go Amazon...

Amazon is the best option. Buying from Adafruit directly is slow.....

Industrial distributors: Farnell / element 14, RS Components, Mouser, DigiKey
Electronic shops (like radioshack): reichelt.de, conrad.de -

I'm a fan of Adafruit, Element 14, and Jamco Electronics, Mouser, and Digikey myself.

I believe the Pi is sold but adafruit through Amazon. Adafruit is so slow, because they get so many orders, but through amazon they offer prime shipping.
