I just got 5 parcels delivered to my doorstep containing all necessary parts for my Pi cluster! An excellent opportunity for posting my very first picture on this blog 🙂
The parts were all ordered online just yesterday at 5 different stores. And all stores managed to deliver the goods the next day 🙂
After unpacking and sorting the whole lot looked like this:
On the top left is the TP-link-SF1005D unmanaged 5 port switch. Below that the Anker 5 port USB power supply. And below that a USB power cord so I can power the switch from the fifth USB port.
At the top are the 4 Raspberry Pi 3 boards and below that the brand new Pibow Coupe casings. In the middle row the micro SD cards. These are SanDisk Ultra 16GB cards with read speed up to 80MB/s. The bottom two rows are 4 micro USB cables and 4 network cables, both with angled connectors.
And after some more unboxing I made this picture with the egg to show the scale. The components are tiny!
After this picture I made myself a nice omelet!
Raspberry Pi Cluster 
Hi,
I have been reading your blog, it looks very interesting. Congratulations for your good job.
Could you please give me a budget estimation (raspberry pi excluded) about the whole project?
Thanks

Hey Juan,
I decided to make a little post on this as it might be of interest to other readers as well: https://raspberrypicluster.wordpress.com/2016/07/11/what-did-it-cost/
