The pi has an HDMI port but I wonder how many people actually use it.  I
don't even own any standalone monitors, so any pi's that I used would be
headless, communicating from my laptop by ethernet.  There is also a
headless Pi "compute module" but it costs as much as the HDMI one.

I've actually been interested in testing some software on a Pi, and
rather than mucking around with actually buying one and cabling it up
and having yet more electronic junk cluttering up my room, I've been
thinking of renting one that's hosted in a data center in Bulgaria:

These guys host in Amsterdam and charge less per month, but you have to
supply your own pi or buy one from them:
