Ye Olde Wooden Laptop



I know that this is an art blog, but I have to count this laptop case mod as art. It is, after all, industrial design, taking a new product and making it look, and in some ways function, as a far outdated piece of machinery. According to the article,


"Built by Datamancer, this amazing Steampunk-style laptop, based on an HP ZT1000, is fully-functional and turns on with an antique clock-winding key. It also runs both Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux"
