There's a brand new mod in town and it's a rather stunning one at that - check out the brand new wind-up steampunk laptop from Datamancer.

Very nice indeed. I like it alot!

Oh.My.God.

Would be even better if this was actually steam powered.

Awesome classic mod. Like the cogs with glass, must have taken ages to collect all those gears and putting them into place. You can almost see them running for real

great mod
stuninng details and nice other projects
once featured on bit-tech the nice message "Bandwidth Limit Exceeded" shows up

dirtbiker · 5th Nov 2007, 11:29

What an awesome looking machine! One thing though, should "Violin-style sound holds disguise cloth-covered speaker grilles" read as Violin-style sound holes? Good stuff!

stephen2002 · 5th Nov 2007, 12:18

Cool mod. It would be even cooler if all of those gears moved while the computer was on

DarkReaper · 5th Nov 2007, 12:37

That's simply gorgeous.

The site got bit-teched alas - anybody know of any mirrors?

Glider · 5th Nov 2007, 13:04

Yeah, site seems to be down, with a disturbing message...
