  • NeonOwl, on 11/05/2009, -0/+13I love the steampunk aesthetic and the art associated with the subculture, but do not, I repeat, do not ever listen to a steampunk band. That ***** is awful.
  • sbcea, on 11/04/2009, -1/+14Jake von Slatt's brass keyboard looks awesome.Very retro.

  • lostmessiah, on 11/05/2009, -0/+6*****, I've been working on making a set of goggles now for like, 3 weeks. I feel ruefully inadequate.

  • sageerrant, on 11/05/2009, -0/+3Well, if no one else is going to... THESE AREN'T HACKS.

    Just rather impressive mods.
  • rkenshin21, on 11/05/2009, -0/+3That site even with Adblock Plus up was covered in spam and bloatware.
  • Apocolypse007, on 11/05/2009, -0/+3some amazing work. I expected custom cases and maybe keyboards, but the monitors, mice, and usb drives just take it over the top. kudos.
  • lightfire409, on 11/05/2009, -0/+3and you have made physical contact with a girl in your life.
  • jeremiahjw, on 11/05/2009, -0/+2That is so cool, I'd love to have one of those things. One of those keyboards (or one similar) is a set piece on Warehouse 13.
  • MrLeo1984, on 11/05/2009, -0/+2Very flash.
  • ViaNocturna, on 11/05/2009, -1/+3This stuff looks cool but the term "Steampunk" makes me cringe. Good work none the less
  • whitespace37, on 11/05/2009, -0/+2the steam-cycle is awesome.
  • dvsbastard, on 11/05/2009, -0/+2I also find steampunk brass to be very romantic... And nothing says I love you like a rusty trombone...!
  • Rikushix, on 11/05/2009, -0/+2The phones were definitely my favorites. Those or the masks. At least, I haven't seen anything like those before. The computers have been on the front page a few times but I'll digg them just the same.
  • Eurynom0s, on 11/05/2009, -0/+2FTA: In this mod, Jake von Slatt researched Victorian era stages and discovered they were approximately 4:3 aspect ratio – the 16:9 wide-screen ratio from the cinema.


    What? They've lost me. Did they just say that 4:3 = 16:9 ???
  • soundchaser, on 11/05/2009, -0/+2i thought it was decided that steampunk was finished
  • antdude, on 11/05/2009, -0/+2No mirrors? :(

  • sonofabe, on 11/05/2009, -5/+2Dear god won't steampunk die already?!

    Then again, it'll just be replaced with some other contrived aesthetic...
  • groovystratman, on 11/05/2009, -6/+1This all came from that movie, "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen".

    Some people have a lot of time on their hands.
