There are a few other very cool things too, especially the keyboards:

Penguins...the only fish that can't fly.

You might want to watch this short film from the BBC then.

Seen this before, yeah. It's awesome, would've taken a long time to build.

More precisely, rather than "antique", I think that's actually steampunk.
And some of the best steampunk I've ever seen as well I might add.

Wow, I like the use of the pen holder as the antenna. I wonder if it actually functions as such or not.
Really nice find.
I also like the keys with the serif'd typeface. Nice.

That is cool. Just imagine showing up to LinuxWorld with that little baby. You could sit there next to all the MacBook-toting Linux users and suddenly they would just not be the comment-generating units that this would. Heh heh heh...
