I don't know about this one...My opinion is that computers should be about performance and function, not looks. Can anyone say why a wooden case is better than one made of aluminum? I suppose it could be viewed as art, or a matter of preference. But a well engineered computer, again, in my opinion, is a work of art in itself. maybe I'm getting old already, but I don't see why Steampunk is appealing.
Anyone ever notice that the posts at the bottom of old stories seem to always have 0 diggs? It is like there is one person who trolls along the front-page stories and just hits -1 for every post in the thread. If it were more than one person doing this you'd see bunches with -2 or -3 but it is disproportionately 0. That suggests it is one person doing it consistently...for months now.

The movie version of "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" is perfect steampunk.

not so much steam punk as space-western, but the general melding of times gone by with high technology is a common theme.

But the regants are a bitch to farm. Failure rate on the potions and Xmutes hardly justify alloting the skill points at first.

Yes. I thought this was a dupe story from a blog until I saw that it had come from the Boston Globe.

That is just what I want -- a fake steam punk PC made out of plastic wood made on an assembly line.
