Gear
Computers
Computer - widely available and cheap, N$50-100. Cheaper models have flatscreens that are simple sheets of plastic which can be attached to the wall, desk surface, or stand freely at a comfortable viewing angle. Expensive ones have holographic displays. Most support voice, keyboard, trackball, and VR glove interfaces. For hacking purposes, counts as a Green 4 system, but neural jacks are available only on the higher end models. A hacker forced to use one of these would be at -2 Hacking due to the less responsive interface, but a hacker with a Wireless connection can use the computer for Hacking with no penalty.
Cyberdeck - used by hackers to infiltrate target computers. They are meant to be operated by neural jacks, but most systems also provide a holographic display, keyboard and VR glove interface as a backup. Cyberdecks provide a wide array of tools which are usually dedicated toward protecting the hacker from being traced back and repelling enemy intrusion attempts, but in a pinch, can be committed to a full-out invasive probe of the target system. See Av2Hacking for more details.

Holotank - N$100. A large surface for projecting holographic displays. It does not require VR gloves for user input; it automatically recognizes hands being moved through the display area. Often used by task force leaders to share maps with their forces and plan missions, also seen in middle-class homes as a way in which sports and wargames can be enjoyed in company without everyone needing to be hooked in.
ICE - an add-on for cyberdecks. The hacker may switch this on at the beginning of a Hack attempt. It grants 1 point of Armor vs target system Security rolls, but gives a -1 penalty to Hacking. Costs 10% of the base system cost.
VR Headset - N$100. A neural interface which provides similar functionality to the Neural Jack but is fairly bulky - think motorcycle helmet plus a toaster-sized box with a Neural Jack connector. Designer colors and patterns available. Popular with VR world afficionados.
