Steampunk Computers

Via wired.com

I just have to share this.  We occasionally talk of building our own computers in class and I've been planning such an endeavor for a few years now.  However, I never considered the steampunk option.  I can't be sure whether this version will game like I want it too, but it certainly looks awesome, if nothing else.

For those uninitiated, steampunk, in short, is a sci-fi subgenre in which the stories are set around an alternate Victorian Era.  To be exact, its a Victorian Era where modern technology exists, but through steam power, gears and gas lights.  Brass and gears are prominent in its home decor applications.
