We're big fans of the steampunk craze, where normal everyday gadgets are retrofitted to look like something from long ago, so when we found out Jake von Slatt created a steampunk monitor to go along with the other steampunk computer accessories he's built, we were really stoked.

Jake tore apart a Dell 1907FP flat panel monitor, but instead of refitting the peripheral with brass, he simply spray painted the metal finish with some Krylon gold paint. Add a couple of brass arms from the 19th Century, and the look is complete. Best of all this monitor runs on neither steam nor punks. — Stephen Schleicher
