I know right...cant believe people can be stuffed with these sorts of things...

the picture in the first slide is the best of all.
can we have more pictures like that ?

 

[jaquith]

True Artists all of them! Not my thing but I can certainly appreciate the extreme talent and craftsmanship.

Cool pics, lost me at "Pinterest" though...

Is it just me or does anyone else think everything is hideous and you wouldn't ever want it?

It's just you.

How come the pictures are so low res? HD is called for here.

I have to say I've always been a fan of 1920's era designs and I love the Archbishop and the Romantic Mac Mini.

The archbishop was specifically made to browse little boy kiddie porn.

The alchemist is awesome

You guys should see Neil Peart's most recent drumkit if you like steampunk this much.

Not my cup of tea but the rigs do look kond of cool.

 

[teddymines]

I think it would be cool to build one where the gauges responded to load or temp, steam pressure vented occasionally, the "furnace" glowed as more power was called for, and gears and cams moved. Imagine having to stoke the furnace with a bellows to squeeze a few more MHz out of your rig during a critical battle.

They should mod some components to look steampunk now. A steampunk CPU cooler... now what would THAT look like? 😉

It'd probably look like Doc Brown's giant refrigerator in Back To The Future Part III. :lol:

aw, man... can't believe you didn't include that touchscreen one! http://needsmoresteam.com/category/steampunk-computer/

 

[hannibal]

Some of these would benefit from UI mod. Normal windows desktop just don't look nice on these. Some gothic theme would be nice!

@ andrewcarr

its not just you. the people who like this is most likely old 30+. and obviously does not know of the great mods of this century.

i love hunting mods, and the steampunk genre mods baffles me. and always are desgiend by guys in their 40's... says something.

Why are the Art Deco keyboards included in this round up?

Thanks for the photos, some very cool looking things here. While perhaps difficult and more dangerous to work with... TUBE type monitors would have worked better for the OLD-STYLE computers. Especially if they are made for exhibition, not real use.

Is it just me, or are the picture articles on Tomshardware always broken/hardly work? I try it with Chrome, and I try it with IE, and both have major issues with these type of articles (mainly moving from one picture to the next).
