My goal with this project was to build a retro keyboard that was fully functional and of a sufficient quality that it could be used everyday by a touch typist. In order to achieve this I chose a high quality (though widely available) keyboard as my starting point. This is an IBM Model M "Clicky" keyboard. They were made starting in the mid 1980's and a version is still manufactured today. This particular keyboard was made in 1989 and shipped with and IBM PowerStation 530, a UNIX box the size of a kegerator. Besides its overall quality and heft, one of the things that makes this keyboard particularly good for such a mod is the fact that it has removable key caps and the under-cap has a flat surface ideal for affixing a new key top. Step one was disassembly and the removal of the skirts on the key caps. The skirt removal was kind of tricky, I originally planned to use a circle punch, but that nearly destroyed the first key I tried it on. After some experimentation I came up with a method...

The Steampunk Keyboard looked terribly anachronistic sitting in front of my Dell 1907FP flat panel monitor and while I hesitated to tear open a $300 monitor that was still under warantee, art must be served. Inside I found that the whole thing was encased in steel sheet. I rejected the idea of re-making all of the pieces in brass and went looking for some paint that would give a nice effect. I settled on a nice gold metalic from Rustoleum with a thin coat of brown Krylon Crystal Color to give it an aged look. Not too bad! The finish is a good match for the 19th Century gas lamp arms that I bought from Sequential Glass. It was, in fact, these arms that inspired this project. As soon as I opened the box they came in I knew instantly what I was going to do with them. I couldn't find any brass angle for the frame so I bought some brass colored aluminum angle from True Value. I fabricated "L" shaped pieces of brass for the corners and used self-tapping screws to secure everything. After all... See less

new! - This laptop was just featured in a gallery of steampunk creations on Newsweek.com! (10/31/07) | It was also featured in a gallery of steampunk creations on Wired.com, entitled "Steam-Driven Dreams" (it's the 2nd and 3rd thumbnails) and was seen (about 85% completed) in a video segment on The Wall Street Journal (WSJ.com), in an article in The Boston Globe, and will be seen in the December issue of Ocean Drive Magazine. | The violin-style sound holes, or "F-holes" are functional speaker grills covered with black cloth. For a little added redundancy, the original power switch is accessible through the speaker fabric. If you need to do a hard reboot, you can take a pen or pencil and press down on the fabric in the dead-center of the leftmost lobe of the f-hole to contact the button. The original keyboard LEDs now shine through small plastic gems. | Here's a video of both the clock-winding key and the hidden power switch in action. | The DVD-ROM opens by pressing a small, round,...
