Modding The Captain's Writing Desk : A Steampunk Touchscreen Computer

Hi Guys,

Been working on this for about a month and think it is finally finished Made out of an old Acer Travelmate 2413 laptop.

There is a full project log on my blog (and more pics) if you want to see how it's all put together, though here is the finished article!

​

 

How to embed a video:
You know the little series of numbers and letters after it says watch= ? Just copy those, edit your post in advanced mode, click on the youtube tag, and paste your code in there.

Anyway, that's another great mod, I'm blown away! Well done!

 

Aha! Thank you for the help and glad you like it!

 

Success, and nice video!
The touchscreen is a great feature.

 

Mate, you never disappoint.

Now, just make a Steampunk house....

 

Hell yes, I'd come and live with you!

 

Haha! A steampunk house would be awesome, but I'd have to find a submarine to build it out of

 

Very well done, sir. This is what a proper Steampunk build should look like. No fussing about with unnecessary gears placed on as if they were an afterthought, but rather a fairly elegant build with just the right touch of futuristic antiquity.

 

Maybe not a house, but your kitchen would be a start:

 

Mate, why don't you write a forum post on how to do stuff like this? It would help a few of us aspiring modders who wish to do something a little different/awesome.

 

I could give it a go What kind of stuff do you think should be included?

 

What doesn't his blog cover? Seems very helpful and detailed to me.

 

Awesome man. Cool!

 

Awesome work man. You don't disappoint.

 

Oops, didn't realise he has a blog. Will take a peek at once I get back in front a PC.

 

It's a really cool website actually!
Despite the 2 mods you've posted here not being in project logs, I think Nexxo should move them so they can be in MOTM!

 

Whilst I don't like Steampunk stuff I do love your craftmanship! Such lovely detail and I would certainly vote for this in MOTM which is unusual as I never vote!

 

Thanks guys I'm honoured even by the suggestion that it could pass as a motm!

 

Well, it top quality craftsmanship and attention to detail that's unmatched a lot of the time. When I mod, it's done on a very low budget and time, remember :
