Not looking to spend very much as this entire project is about repurposing discarded electronics. I have a roughly 10-year-old Toshiba laptop which I'll be using as a master node. For worker nodes, I've been slowly collecting old android phones.
The master node will be directly connected via ethernet to our home's router. Then using a USB to Ethernet adapter, I'll connect to the cluster's subnet. To the router, I'm also going to attach an old laptop 1Tb SATA drive for network storage. It would be too costly to get micro c to ethernet adapters, so all nodes will be connected to the router wirelessly. What do you recommend?
