I've always admired the cyberpunk style and have just moved into a new apartment. I want to decorate the place with something out of the ordinary.
So what should I put up to have a cyberpunk themed home?

Ok so right now I'm thinking of a couple of old CRT tv's or old monitors obtained from goodwill with the cases removed and maybe running on a video loop when people come over. For the walls maybe put circuit boards and LEDs around the place. It's only a one bedroom place so I wouldn't need much to fill the place out.
First of all you need a ceiling fan, preferably a huge one that makes ominous noise.
And a large Native Indian sand mural.
Random ventilation duct covers on the wall can also give a home a certain post-industrial charm.
For lighting steal a neon sign from an asian take-away.
Done and done. The apartment already had a noisey fan when I moved in. I'm pretty sure with a little reworking I can make my AC intake nice and industrial.Quote:

"The high voltage to the CRT, while 200 times greater than the line input, .....it is not nearly as likely to be lethal since the current available from the line connected power supply is much greater."
Well, it needs to be eclectic. Artwork from each of the continents at least - and yes, I expect Antarctic art. Needs to be dark, but liberally doused with LEDs and the like - balancing the artificial light with the symbolic darkness is a must. A pile of drugs in the corner will go a long way towards tying the room together.
But seriously, you have a computer, right? Isn't that enough?
