# Raspberry Pi's DIY cyberdeck project is the tiny computer I didn't know I wanted

**[XDA Developers](https://daily.dev/sources/xda-developers)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Raspberry Pi published an official guide, part of its Official Magazine issue #168, for building a DIY cyberdeck—a small, cyberpunk-styled homemade computer housed in objects like cases or purses. The guide covers a Pelican-style case build with step-by-step images, storage, peripherals, and power options, and is aimed at beginners. The piece also notes that Raspberry Pi raised prices on nearly all its SBCs earlier in the year due to rising RAM costs, including a $100 hike on the 16GB Raspberry Pi 5 referenced in the guide.
