About This Project

Welcome to my Guide on the Parts and Components I used to build my Raspberry Pi 5 Cluster. My name is aeoneros, I'm a 24-year-old IT enthusiast from Switzerland, and I’m relatively new to the IT world. This project was a great learning experience for me, and I’m excited to share the journey with you. Below, you'll find a comprehensive list of all the parts I used, complete with links for purchasing the components within Switzerland.

To help you understand the financial aspect of the project, I've also included the prices I paid for each item in Swiss Francs (CHF) along with the equivalent in USD for your reference.
Exchange Rate: 1 CHF = 1.18009 USD

Whether you're a fellow hobbyist or a professional looking to replicate this setup, I hope you find this resource helpful!
