Being a child of the 90s and having spent no small amount of time traipsing the cobbwebbed corners of the bbs scene growing up reading about the heyday of phreaking, stumbling across the first explosion of anime into the US, and soaking up hacker lore, I've been fascinated by the prospect of cool looking portable computers. Hell, Penny from Inspector Gadget even had a computer book and a cyborg for an uncle.year

In recent years the likes of the Raspberry Pi have made it possible to make good on the 80s vision of a portable do-it-all computer. Nevermind that laptops have had that niche down pat for going on 20+ years now. Laptops look like laptops and cyberdecks look like "cool hacker shit".

I've seen the budding cyberdeck scene, and wanted to take my own stab at it. I just needed a 1337 look to start from.
