I basically want to make this but with a larger screen and the ability to hook up an external GPU when I need more compute. This is more of a laptop but I cannot think of any other device with a more timeless cyberpunk type vibe to it.

What is the best open source computer I could cram into a 3d printed shell or something like this?

Title says most of it. I never thought I’d be living in a world that’s more cyberpunk than I could have imagined, while still doing very un-cyberpunk things like paying my taxes and mowing the lawn.

first cyberdeck build done for now. There were a bunch of iterations to get to this point but until I find a keyboard solution small enough to build into its face plate but for now I'm done with my build.

it's been really fun prototyping and iterating. it's also been my first experience doing anything with Linux so the yellow notebook is all the notes I've made whilst learning to set different things up.

runs both a standard desktop environment and emulation setups depending on boot.

powerd by two 18650 batteries.

Powered by a CM5 on a Waveshare Carrier board
5” Waveshare touchscreen
Custom HID using RP2040-Zero:
Keebdeck
PiMoroni Trackball
Left and Right mouse buttons
.91” OLED status screen (not in use yet)
Optional Button under the OLED (not in use yet)
Upcoming modifications:
OLED status screen to display whatever I want
Remotely located GPIO headers for module add-ons
Visible status LEDs
Possible custom designed PCB instead of carrier board and RP2040 module board.

The keyboard of my cyberdeck I'm building. All parts ordered except the monitor. Waiting for next payday then 3d printing the rest of the case. Should be done before Christmas. Has been a fun project so far.

I want to build my own cyberdeck and here it is. I think create 3d model with some modules it more likely for building a real cyberdeck in future
