If you like a little bit of Victorian flair with your technology, then you’ll definitely appreciate this Steampunk LCD Monitor which fulfills its duty as a computer screen, but let’s face it, this one is really all about the style.

We’ve seen Steampunk monitors before, but I’m a sucker for misappropriated piping and so here’s another, this time courtesy of Australia-based Mad Uncle Cliff. Based around an LCD panel, the mod uses copper piping, a spray pump to hold the controls and a pair of endearingly-alien speaker horns.

If steampunk is a bit too antique for your style, you might like this retro all-in-one PC instead. Dschrubbe made this very cool PC that houses a flat screen monitor inside of the portable TV.

Steampunk designs have all kind of gone with a similar theme, however this computer gives a Victorian twist. This DIY project by Jake Von Slott combines new technology with old parts and some supplies even came from the downtown dump.

The Steampunk mods keep coming, and they’re getting more impressive all the time. After the success of Jake von Slatt’s monitor and keyboard hackery, over at Datamancer they’re documenting the development of a whole Steampunk desk, the Computational-Engine, complete with typewriter keyboard, phonograph-horn audio system and even a scanner-in-a-book called the Opti-Transcripticon.
Jake von Slatt has already crafted an incredible Steampunk makeover of a venerable IBM Model M keyboard, and he decided it needed a monitor in keeping with the theme. So against the warranty’s better judgement he popped open the casing of his Dell monitor and proceeded to make an ingenious brass masterpiece from the innards.
