That monitor is pretty sick.

This guy sure spent a lot of his time doing this.It looks quite neat. I would not do this myself, don't want to damage my hardware :(.

Wouldn't want to miss any internet time.
Yeah, the keyboard is pretty cool, and it even uses roman numerals instead of numbers :o

That is so cool! It sort of rekindles a dream I had to build a 1950s PC out of bakelite and old TV parts.

bakelite! now that would be cool!

[Bengaul]

I love it! Real added value! Whoever did it has far too much time on their hands.

[Sunflower1970]

That is awesome. I love that monitor...(not so keen on the keyboard...)

I like the keyboard, but the monitor is hot

check out these two projects: steampunk keyboard (http://steampunkworkshop.com/keyboard.shtml) and LCD monitor (http://steampunkworkshop.com/lcd.shtml)!

You know, this stuff looks so cool, it just makes me want to find some time to do this someday. They do a great job with their projects.

[LightB]

I've seen this before. They look nice, but that keyboard can't be comfortable after a while.

[Enverex]

Eerie, a friend pointed me to these last night. They do look interesting though, probably would be nice for a museum or somesuch.

[Billy_McBong]

it makes my new monitor look bad:(:(

Not to that degree

They are nice but not sure it is worth a duplicate thread:

My bad...I guess I wasn't as diligent with the searching as I should have been.
