DrekyDeck, courtsy of your friendly local Deckbeard, It is literally a deck, that is all. Options

Was tooling around with some of the content from Data Trails and came up with a couple of fun little things.

This is literally the most basic deck that is metahumanly possible. It can run one program and only one program with little to no actual functionality. Based on that piece of drek Meta Link you got on the StufferShack and less then 1000¥ worth of components, you are now technically a decker, though you'd probably have a better time killing spiders by telling them about your deck then trying to black hammer em (which you cant actually do so...). Still, its 20,250¥ cheaper then the next lowest priced deck and you wont feel the slightest bit bad about setting it on fire, which you probably will want to do.

Meta Link Commlink 100¥ (DP 1, FW 1, DR 1)
Hot Sim Module +250¥
Two Component packs +500¥
Adding a Sleaze Attribute: 1 Component pack
Adding an Attack Attribute: 1 Component pack
Total Cost: 850¥ and your dignity

Now technically, this is not RAW legal since you are only technically allowed to make a single modification to the 'link unless otherwise stated. If your GMs being super insistent then you can replace one of the mods with an equivalent dongle. This bumps the price up 6k bringing it up to 6600¥ but that's still 14,400¥ cheaper then the Radio Shack PCD-500.

Another thing I realized is that, RAW you can give yourself an unlimited amount of upgrades to your deck by using the hardening module since it specifically states it takes damage before the deck does and then just tossing it after two upgrades. I personally think this whole idea is broken and would personally just cap upgrades at 9 and do away with the damage thing.

What does everyone else think?
