This Mac is one interesting Steampunk project, and done quite faithfully to the theme. At its heart it is a 1991 Mac running OS 7.5 with a keyboard that was once a typewriter. Not just any typewriter, this piece is a 114 year old Remington made in 1897. The mouse has been built from an [...]
Cryptex flash drive keeps the data in a mechanical lock
There’s the usual vanity flash drive, and then there’s something that really impressive like this Cryptex flash drive. The flash drive is the work of a guy going by the name of “Tarator” who initially rendered the design on AutoCAD and then fabricated the mechanical components. The result of course is this USB flash drive [...]
Steampunk armor
This isn’t full armor per se but a Steampunk mechanical piston arm that the creator made after being inspired by an episode from the TV series Castle. The piston arm was handmade using brass, stainless steel, leather, plastic, and copper. It is selling on Etsy for $1195.
Steampunk sub-machine gun
This is one modern Steampunk weapon. Neil Morrison built it with a telescope, candlestick holders, brass light fittings, valves, a vintage blowtorch and a few other things. It obviously isn’t much good as a weapon, except its killer looks that would disarm anyone.
Steampunk insect sculptures can be scary
Scary spidery robot sculptures like the images above are exactly the type we never want to see.

The sculptures are made from watch parts, copper bits, brass [...]
Characters drawn with the flair of Steampunk
These drawings by Georges le Mercenaire show what modern characters would look like, had they been imagined and created in the Victorian age.

Don’t get all cocky, Steampunk Iron Man
Imagining what things would be like if Tony Stark got down to business a century ago, Steampunk Iron Man shows off its style in steel, copper and brass. The arc reactor has been replaced by a furnace that burns coal to generate steam for the suit to function. So how does Tony manage to get [...]

Steampunk computer mouse eats off the brain
This brass Steampunk mouse will likely have Dr. Frankenstein clap his hands in glee. The optical mouse has a glass cylinder housing a brain with electrodes poking out of it and an oversized click-wheel to go along. Creating this Steampunk mouse, Peter Balch started with a normal optical mouse, stripped it down to the circuit [...]
Steampunk laptop mod
Everything looks better with Victorian styling, even if it is something not quite glamorous (read: ugly) as the Thinkpad. Creator of this mod pushed in an old Thinkpad running a 1.6 GHz processor into what looks like a wooden case with Victorian styling, complete with pipes, cogs and gears and even a pressure gauge at [...]
