Apr 25 2008All-In-One Computer/Monitor Steampunk Build
Jake Von Slatt is a man who loves steampunk. This is one of his most recent creations, an all-in-one 24" widescreen with computer packed in the back. It looks good (reminds me a lot of this bad-assery). If you're a steampunk fan be sure to check out Slatt's Steampunk Workshop website for all kinds of steamy projects, including a steampunk car. I even found a link to a guy's wicked steampunk motorcycle (picture after the jump) on there. He features some pretty good pictures and details on each build, and even some videos. What he doesn't feature is how to convince your girlfriend to wear one of those old school umbrella dresses so a man can get a little steampunk role playing on in the bedroom. After all, nothing says "Honey, quick, call the fire department and burn ward!" like fooling around with hot coals in the sack.
A bunch more pictures after the jump, including that motorcycle I promised.

I don't get the appeal of this steampunk stuff.

I dunno, I love the way the computer looks. it's like they took things that'd be found in Bioshock and brought them into the real world.
now if only someone would make a real life Big Daddy

Then that means you are incredibly stupid. Or blind.
Or the kind of stupid blind person that walks into open sewer holes. Idiot.

So which thing is the computer's mouse? Is it the telegram or the thing with the telescope on it? If it's one, then what's the other thing do? Did they have to use two mice in those backwards Victorian tymes?

I think the telegram thing is the mouse, the telescope is the webcam. Maybe?

The telegram thing taps out RSS feeds in morse code.

That motorcycle is kind of lacking. I have an old one that looks just like that.

I don't get the steampunk thing either. It's nice to be me.

I don't even know where they got the word let alone what qualifies as being it.
As much as I want to go into a monologue that goes completely off subject I go nuthin.

I like the computer. This guy does make some cool stuff & I gotta give him credit for all his work and creativity.
I don't know about the "motorcycle". It looks like one of those things I had as a kid that had a lawnmower engine and weighed about 300 pounds.

Steampunk is a bastardized retro version of Cyberpunk. Unfortunately Cyberpunk mods are harder to come by as we are rapidly moving into the reality of it, and there is no reason to mod what is already there.

You know you go on Geekologie too much when you notice that the article URL's are boring and generic now. Post_12.php?!
... Anyway steampunk is quite cool, I wouldn't have that monitor myself though. Nor the bike... it looks like a pebble chipped up from the road is enough to shatter it...

That's not a motorcycle, that's a scooter based bike.

That computer is just awesome. I'm really becoming a big fan of steampunk stuff and this is nice work indeed.
