This may look like a Victorian music box, but inside this intricately hand-crafted wooden case lives a Hewlett-Packard ZT1000 laptop that runs both Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux. It features an elaborate display of clockworks under glass, engraved brass accents, claw feet, an antiqued copper keyboard and mouse, leather wrist pads, and customized wireless network card. The machine turns on with an antique clock-winding key by way of a custom-built ratcheting switch made from old clock parts.http://computers-review.com/steampunk-laptop/
Thanks to Karsten for emailing me this link!
It would seem to stand to reason that manufacturers of computers might take note of this design and offer it for purchase — if, albiet, as a special order.
