Build It Your Way
The enclosure is designed to accommodate a 9 to 10-inch LCD monitor and can be configured around a Raspberry Pi, mini PC, or an HDMI connection routed to another computer. Should you somehow find a CRT that fits perfectly, even better!
Two keyboard layouts are provided: a standard 60% keyboard layout that covers the entire lower half, or the NIU Mini ortholinear layout, which includes space for three additional key switches on the right side to more closely recreate the in-game terminal design. If your keyboard doesn’t fit, reach out to me and I can make you a custom keyboard plate that will work specifically with your setup.
The front faceplate includes two knobs beside the screen which can be fitted with rotary encoders and programmed to compliment your setup. The NIU Mini keyboard plate features three additional slots for key switches on the right side to be customized in the same way. I recommend using a common microcontroller such as the Pro Micro to add functions like volume and media controls, application launchers, keyboard shortcuts or whatever you can think of.
Approximate assembled size:

Skill Level
This is an advanced build kit. It is not plug-and-play, and it is not intended as a beginner prop kit. Builders should be comfortable 3D printing, test-fitting parts, gluing large assemblies, planning internal hardware, installing components, making necessary adjustments, and completing finishing work.
Sand the shell, fill the seams, prime and paint it, then add as much dirt, rust, wear, and abuse as you want. With some technical know-how, you can install Linux and build a custom terminal interface, turning the login screen into a functional recreation of the hacking minigame. That’s my plan!
Personal-Use License
This file set is licensed strictly for personal, non-commercial use. You may print and assemble the terminal for yourself.
You may not use these files to sell completed terminals, unassembled kits, individual parts, or modified/remixed versions of any of the files in this set. You may not create any derivative commercial products using my work. I ask kindly not to reshare, redistribute, resell, reupload, or transfer to another person or platform.
The personal-use edition includes my logo on select components. The logos can be filled, sanded, painted over or covered during the normal finishing process.
The commercially licensed edition is available separately for builders who want permission to sell physical versions. If you would like to build and sell finished or unfinished kits, I am working on a commercial license agreement to make it easy to do so. Until then, please reach out to me for more information.
