In the years preceding the start of this project, I began to collect different components that might be useful to my daily routine or in extreme cases or conditions. These components make up my current setup, but I wouldn't consider it a Cyberdeck yet. Most of the components that I had gathered are likely to be included in the actual cyberdeck at one point or another. The goal is to start with what I have and then upgraded when needed. 

Pictured below is the current setup as assembled: 

The current setup consists of a Raspberry Pi 4 4Gb, TPlink Mini Router, wireless handheld keyboard, and multiple distributions of Linux on the SD cards. The case is a hard plastic that is supposed to be waterproof, but I have not really done any testing on it yet. 

Below is the current setup when stored or traveling:

As seen in the pictures above, there are many things that can be added and upgraded. First and foremost, this whole setup takes considerably more effort than a standard laptop. It also lacks video and audio output. After doing some research, the plan moving forward is probably going to be for me to start choosing a hard case for the Cyberdeck. I am hoping that I can find one relatively cheap and that is bigger than the one pictured. Once I have the case, I can start modifying it to fit the different pieces of hardware. Once everything is situated within the case,  I am going to be adding a screen, 1Tb portable hard drive, and a SDR for simple listening. The plan is also to upgrade the power distribution within the cyberdeck (current has a Micro-USB going from the Pi to the router purely for power), to upgrade the cables to ones of better quality, and then to upgrade the keyboard to one better suited for long-term typing. What happens after that depends on the needs of the cyberdeck, time, and money. For very long term goals, I am hoping to upgrade the Raspberry Pi to something along the lines of the LattePanda 3 Delta (or whatever the current equivalent is).
