We've seen plenty of steampunk-style gadgets come through here, some not so great. Conversely, some steampunk gadgets have been downright awe-inspiring. But all of those deal with a single 'punk-ified gadget. The "Steampunk Desktop" created by Old Time Computer" goes to show what going past 10, and on to 11 can do. Clearly not content with merely going through the motions, OTC went for it all. Looking at all the old time materials and new fangled digital goodness working in harmony, I'd say ...

When I seek out a new pair of headphones, the one and only feature I care about is audio quality. Fit is a close second. Appearance however doesn't even come close. But headphones have become so much more in recent years as mp3 players and smartphones have driven us to block out the outside world.
The headphones you see above were designed by William Gerwin and feature not only that Steampunk design that is captivating everyone, but a video camera mounted to the side to capture all of yo...

What can't LEGO's do or be morphed into? That seems to be the question that keeps popping up in my head. I mean, the little plastic blocks have even been turned into salt shakers. What do you do after that? A recreation of the famous 1902 sci-image featured in "Le Voyage dans la lune" of course.
Looking at the picture above, the fact that no detail was spared is easily apparent. The maker responsible, Guy Himber, is no stranger to LEGO/steampunk creations as a quick peek at the link in...

Fans of the wild west, classic movies, and the smell of antique automobiles welcome to 2010. It's kind of ironic that we're getting all excited over the Game Boy, a device which was released to the public way back in 1989. But as you can tell, the Game Boy above is so much more than your average GB.
This is the Steampunk'd Game Boy. Thankfully, form doesn't trump function with Thretris's creation as the device is fully usable. Besides the drastically improved physical shell, the Steampunk...

Are you a fan of Steampunk'd gadgetry? I'm kind of on the fence personally. While it is cool to see custom electronics and one-offs, a couple months back there was a huge explosions of steampunk material that frankly, burned me out.
A few months out of the public eye however will do wonders for your interest. Not to mention, if done well, Steampunk gadgets are a sight to behold. Take for instance this Steampunk'd USB flash drive/Hunley (old classic submarine) replica. The drive itself is...

In many different hobbies and areas of society, retro is all the rage. Clothing is one such market in which old styles are constantly reborn and revamped, presented as new once again. However, in regards to technology, old tech isn't exactly "cool" again. I don't know about you but when I see an old room-sized computer in old books, I don't think "Gee, I wish I could have one of those in my room". Heck, I wouldn't even want to have a modern computer look like one. They're big, boxy, and ugl...

You know, every time I stumble upon another steampunk-ified object I start to think "oh my god...again?" with a few exceptions here and there for truly impressive and unique ideas. Taking something as ordinary as a pumpkin is different from normal gadget/electronic versions of steampunk'd devices we've seen a lot of lately. But, in the spirit of Halloween and having a little fun, I decided to share this Steampunk Pumpkin with you. I admit, this metal clad pumpkin is actually pretty cool. I...

While I have generally not been to interested in the various Steampunk products that have been circulating around the inter webs the last several months, one in particular caught my eye just because of it's sheer beauty. The Steampunk + Nixie Clock is all about what geeks stand for. Antique and ancient designs come together in perfect unison giving 10 lucky (and deep pocketed) individuals a chance to own a true piece of geeky gadgetry. Constructed from vacuum tubes, this clock features an a...
