. . .I'm a computer engineer and cut marquetry part time so i decided to combine the two and fashion a monitor of my own. It's seemingly a lot more difficult to get good quality brassware here in England than it is in the states so i made it all in wood, veneered in burr walnut and inlaid with yew wood marquetry and box wood stringing, finished with brass handles and finials. I know its not quite typicaly steampunk but it is a faithfull (ish) reproduction of a Victorian toilet mirror, complete with drawers and as i have never seen one done quite like this i thought it worth sharing . . .
It sure is worth sharing! It's gorgeous!
More Steampunkery from ModVic!

Bruce Rosenbaum from ModVic.com just sent along some photos of his latest project and it's pretty outrageous!
It features a life-size polished aluminum Dental Phantom Mannequin Head, as well as an 1800s foot pedal driven dental drill and a cast iron drawing table base .
Click though for more images and build details of this workstation as well as one based on a Eastman Kodak studio camera.
Steampunk Monitor Stand

Some of the very best letters I get come from people who have built things to give as gifts, a case in point:
Dear jake,
I really have enjoyed your site, especially the bus conversion. I really like how you talk about using found objects and have so many pictures showing your process as you work on your projects. My husband showed me your site last year and proceeded to drool, so when he got dual monitors for his edit system and needed a monitor stand, I knew just what to do.
. . .
Yours in Mad Science!
Amy
You sure did Amy - Awesome work! Thanks!
Much more after the cut.

Small form factor keyboard and monitor

Here's a nice little keyboard and monitor set from Daniel Pon. I particularly like the small form factor, I have a Happy Hacker KB kicking around the shop that I might do something like thing too.
Datamancer's Brass LCD on eBay
Jake von Slatt — Mon, 06/02/2008 - 19:17
My good friend Rich Nagy built this beautiful brass widescreen monitor and has put it on eBay!
This is a one-of-a-kind 22" widescreen LCD built by Richard Nagy aka "Datamancer" of www.datamancer.net. This display was built to compliment the brass keyboards I build and sell on my site (keyboard not included in this auction...just the LCD).
The frame is solid 1/4-inch brass that has been sanded and polished to a high shine. The base features a mixture of brass and black marble with a small brass "cord catch" to keep the power and data cords tidy. The LCD buttons have been moved to the rear of the monitor and remade from brass.
This particular LCD is going to be seen in an upcoming, modernized, arthaus/indy/slasher remake of the old Nosferatu silent film along with a custom keyboard that has runes on the keys. The film is being made by Red Scream Films LLC. and looks like it's going to be really cool.
Victorian All-in-One PC
Jake von Slatt — Tue, 04/22/2008 - 15:56
The inexorable march of technology has rendered my 4:3 aspect ratio 19" LCD mod and my pump-less water cooled PC obsolete, so when I saw a 24" wide screen monitor on sale for $299.00 I grabbed it with the intent on making a Steampunk All-in-One PC.
Dave Veloz's Mac Mini Mod, Monitor, & Keyboard

There is nothing in the world that I like better then receiving pictures of things that people have been inspired to build by my projects. When I opened my mail and discovered these photos of Dave's monitor, keyboard, and Mini Mac wrap I squeed like teen on LJ!
In interviews I've often described Steampunk as the intersection of technology and romance - well here is the story to prove it!
