Very nice. I think the only improvement would be to hide the keyboard cable inside old cotton-covered sheathing, perhaps cannibalised from an old telephone or obtained from a vintage wiring supplier.

This reminds me entirely too much of Myst. It also gives me some crazy ideas.

I love the “old” look. I am building a computer out of wood and brass for the 1890’s look. This steampunk theme is very interesting.

Those keys to replace the buttons are great!

Maybe he should replace the keyboard with a morse code “tapper” (key) and enter all text using morse code.
I’ve seen guys that can do morse a lot faster than i can type, so not entirely impractical :P

This is *SO* freaking awesome… Too bad i don’t have a study with antique furniture… Otherwise i’d had one of those for sure…

@1,2: A steampunk mouse? Kind of like this, for instance?

Note- this isn't a jake von slatt production, it's by the *other* guy called jake who makes steampunk computer hardware.

@targit: in case you'd missed it, the telegraph dealie to the left is his RSS ticker that sounds RSS feeds in morse code :)

Just needs some steampunk window decoration themes to complete the effect!

Just noticed that this is the same guy who did the steampunk keyboard, among other projects. He’s really got a knack for this stuff.

Also, love what he did with the buttons.

Indeed, I’ll be interested to see what he does with the mouse…
