Pi 3 supports PXE over ethernet without using an SD card... I don't 
believe the older Pi's do, unless you put the PXE bootloader on an SD card.

I usually figure a Pi costs $50 + SD card, as I like to put them in a 
case, and they do need a decent 2 amp MicroUSB PSU, you can get a case + 
wallwart for $15 on top of the $35 board cost.
