Raspberry Pi 2B
It's official! the amturingpi project is cancelled!
After some more research I figured out a Beowulf cluster might be a nice research project, but it is not useful for the goal I had in mind.
I'm currently using my Raspberry Pi 2B as a "regular desktop computer", running (a modified version of) Ubuntu MATE (Linux) for Raspberry Pi2.
Thus I bought/used the following additional hardware.

I'm currently using my Raspberry Pi 2B as a "regular desktop computer", running (a modified version of) Ubuntu MATE (Linux) for Raspberry Pi2.
Thus I bought/used the following additional hardware.
2 additional Raspberry Pi 2B boards;- 1 HDMI cable;
- 1 HDMI to DVI-D converter;
- 1 Wireless keyboard and mouse set;
1 Euro to USB adapter;1 USB 4 port HUB;4 USB to Micro USB cables;1 Ethernet Switch;4 CAT6 Twisted pair cables with RJ-45 connectors;- 1 Official Raspberry Pi power supply;
- 1 Raspberry Pi Case (black);
- 1 32 GB MicroSD card (for experimental Operating Systems);
- 1 USB Wireless adapter (owned already);
- 1 1.5 TB USB HDD (owned already).
The next research project is to use the RPI as a client for a Linux Terminal Server. But it doesn't make sense to document this myself, because it already is documented at the Project Homepage.
