I recommend something other than a Raspberry Pi 3 for a multiple node set-up. I have several instances of single and dual node installations using usbradio on INTEL ATOM processor based computers, as follows. Intel D2500 fanless motherboard - about $60 A Mini-itx Case/Power Supply - about $50 2 gig of RAM - about $16 Samsung 16 gig SSD MMBRE16G5MSP - about $20 (used) This makes a very capable fanless computer for about $150.00. Yes - it's not $40.00, but it also doesn't have the machine gun effect of running usbradio on a Pi3. I've had zero issues using these used-reclaimed SSD drives. eBay is a good source for everything.

Unless someone tell me that there is a better small computer that could do the job for my 2 nodes using usbradio.

I know of no one having issues running usbradio with current DIAL on the RPI3. I have a couple nodes running as such.
That said, I would only run one usbradio interface per RPI3, they are simply not that powerful. I use a supermicro Intel atom server for our main Tampa site, and it's got 3 repeaters running pciradio and 2 usbradio interfaces on it.
