Not for sale, alas! This guy made it as a wedding gift for his wife, both of them Steampunk aficionados.

Here's where the guy housed the drive (it's an Apple Mini):

I think Apple should either hire this guy or just pay him for the design and make a whole line of Mini's housed this way. I've no doubt they'd fly off the shelves.

That is fab!

I've seen the monitor and keyboard, but I hadn't seen the case before. If you read the William Gibson book "Idoru" the young girl has a laptop made by a group of artisans. The case is sandcast aluminum, and the keytops are faced in different materials-- turquoise, jade abalone... You can upgrade the innards.

Cool! It's very Wild, Wild, West looking to me.

I'd seen the laptop before...

The stained glass case is cool, but it makes me think of Vella~La, not steampunk...

SO which of those two is the yin and which is the yang?

True, not a real steampunk perhaps, but still very cool. And V is the first thing I thought too.

Maybe they're just up to room temprature now. She tells me it's freezing down there.
