How to build a steampunk PC
Kevin Spiess - Thursday, April 24th, 2008 | 11:47AM (PST)


Handy-guy sets out to make a "Victorian All-in-One PC"

Handy-guy Jake Von Slatt decided he needed to upgrade his computer. So, he went out and bought a 24" wide screen monitor. Having this monitor inspired him to get really handy, and craft something he decided on calling the Steampunk All-In-One PC.

The case mod has a sort of Victorian England thing going for it, and makes much use of metals. The motherboard was inset behind the LCD monitor, making it fairly portable as well. Jake Von Slatt has a lot of information on his website, going through all the steps necessary to make this mod. Unfortunately, if you do want to build one for yourself, your going to need some things that don't exactly grow on trees, such as table saws and pieces of a metal chandelier.

Besides this case mod, this steampunk-loving, resourceful and talented Jake Von Slatt person has all sorts of projects on the go, such as a kerosene electric lamp, a steam-powered car, and, as he explains in the video below, making homemade video blogger glasses.
