   I first came across this concept a few years ago   
   . A “cyberdeck” is basically a   
   style of home-built computer with futuristic/sci-fi/cyberpunk   
   overtones. The name comes from (what else) a William Gibson novel. It   
   seems common to use a Raspberry Pi as the beating heart, with a custom   
   3D-printed case around it plus other suitably interesting-looking   
   parts.   
      
   Angles seem preferable to curves, with asymmetrically-inset polygons   
   very popular. Weird and wacky keyboard layouts are a bonus. The   
   diminutive size of the Raspberry Pi leaves plenty of room for   
   experimentation.   
      
   We can build the future-that-never-was! We have the technology now.
