Hi guys sorry to do this before things got of the ground but the original plan for the Plant Stand has had a major evolution and the stand will house a NUC for my HiFi PC and be in Part II. What i have decided to do its take an old Hall table and use that as the base for the build. on top of this will be a Box to keep the components in that is to be covered in leather. This will also be the mounting point for the monitor and all be able to come apart with ease.

Thanks Guys this is going to be like more up market steam punk not just a case with some cogs and gears on the idea for me is to let the hardware and cooling be the focal points i was thinking about the whale oil from Dishonored really want to be more original the liquid will need a eerie glow to it .
I agree that a lot of "Steampunk" efforts just glue some random brass cogs to a surface. Not my idea of Steampunk either. What you call upmarket Steampunk I probably refer to as "Diamond Age Steampunk", after Neal Stephenson's novel.
I love this song... Thanks! Also OP we need updates, and I do think this is going to be a proper steampunk.
well right now i am working on the leather that i am covering the mdf box up i am lookng at a way of doing the tops of keys in leather and maybe paint the side's of keys in a different color buy i will have to have a little play with the spare keys
