Steampunk Frankenstein by Dana Mattocks is a water-cooled, eight foot giant of a PC featuring countless antique components scrounged and fitted together in a way only a true modder knows how! The result is an insane mass of brass fittings, cogs and wheels with eerie lighting that looks incredible.

Well on Cp and well done on the Mod. Impressive indeed.

I bow to your uniqueness.

The boy 4rm oz · 26th Jun 2009, 11:07

That is one massive PC lol. The mod is excellent, beautiful detail and construction, you should be very proud of what you have achieved.

Makes me want to play BioShock again.

p3n · 26th Jun 2009, 11:31

SlowMotionSuicide · 26th Jun 2009, 11:35

Shepps · 26th Jun 2009, 12:39

I love the style of this thing. The idea of modern technology without aluminum and plastic is really interesting. Good work!

V3ctor · 26th Jun 2009, 12:54

Which century though?

Is this machine from Vault 13 or 15?

I prefer practical mods but this one is so stylish, I'm impressed...

Mr_G · 26th Jun 2009, 14:05

That machine is a BEAST - I absolutely LOVE it!

You can just imagine Sherlock Holmes tinkering about eagerly with the 'new fangled technology' for one of his investigations...

Excellent.

Errrr... I can see how some people consider steampunk art, and how this could be some sort of sculpture-ish piece of art, but as a computer it just fails a life. Sorry if I sound harsh and as always, just my two cents. I just don't see mixing a wardrobe with random parts being my cup of tea.

mp3manager · 26th Jun 2009, 15:23

That's amazing....The Chaos Engine lives!!

Hehehe think your not even close 20 grand would be more in the ballpark

To make this it would take me minimum of 250 hour's times $40,
All that brass will cost also 2~5K (depending how mouths time you take for looking for parts + postage)
PC parts 2~3k

Design, priceless.

Redbeaver · 26th Jun 2009, 16:16

OMGDROOL - is probably my best effort to express my amazement of your mod..... just freakin amazing...

Skiddywinks · 26th Jun 2009, 16:17

Much respect! That thing must have taken so much planning, time, money and probably chucked in a lot of frustration along the way.

I tip my hat to you.

Evildead666 · 26th Jun 2009, 17:47

Dang !!!
I really really like SteamPunk, it just pleases the eye....
I'm very fond of Art-Deco and the 20's and 30's anyway....

Makes me want to do a Steampunk mod........but I would make sure there are no unused parts.
Well, that everything would be as functional as possible...

#Gets out drawing board#

great Work, and great inspiration.
