I am about to admit a fascinating new interest I have that’s been brewing a while.  It’s known as Steampunk, and while I am not so familiar with the fictional works of the modern writers of the genre, I am very intrigued with the creations of the fans of the genre.  There are working Steampunk computers that will just blow your mind, like this one:

Check out more photos of this pc here: www.steampunklab.com

And, if you can read the language, you can go here to learn how it was built: www.mod-planet.com

Anyway, there’s quite a few Steampunk computers and components out there, here’s the links to a few I’ve found over time.

Steampunk Flat-Panel LCD Mod

Steampunk Keyboard Mod

Steampunk Lab (This place looks fascinating.  I may be here a while, Max permitting.)

Brass Goggles (Another site I may be stuck on for a while.)

This site has amazing Steampunk watches and things made by Haruo Suekichi. You have to click on each of the three panels to view them as shown in this screenshot:

Datamancer’s Steampunk Laptop

The Opti-Transcripticon (Some Uru fans might really like this thing!)

Tick Tock: A Steampunk Clock (I am crazy for clocks, all ways have been and this one is so cool I wold love to have one just like it!)

Well, darn.  I’ve got to get up and get to work doing chores.  Ugh.  Maybe I’ll be able to post more links to cool stuff later.  If I can keep Max busy with something else, that is.
