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.

  1. Hmm, so kind of like the new Sherlock Holmes movies. I wonder how the name Steampunk came about.
