    Default More Steampunk

    Not that steampunk, but a work in progress:

    I personally like the copper tubing. It's a classy touch.

    I'd like to make a proper steampunk PC. I've been thinking it through and have some ideas knocking around...

    Well, that's the thing. I really, really, want to do the fallout mod. But I was driving home one day, and then this...well, I can only call it a thing, popped into my head. It's an idea that just takes all the little things I've had kicking around in my head and then mixes them together and spits it out. I tried to draw it yesterday, but It wouldn't go on the paper. In my head, it's beautiful. I mean, it's beyond that, it's incredible.

    Copper Pipes, Levers, Fine yellow paint on Dark red wood, steam, pressure gauges, taps, valves, gears, bits that spin...I called it the TIP-150. Of course, I had to, didn't I?

    I have some more worklogs to come, If I wasn't so busy programming just now I'd be posting them-yesterday, my new Core 2 Due arrived, along with my new cooler, for a mod I want to start soon...

    ...the real question here is, do I want to use my ideas, or work with something that someone else has developed? I've drawn the plans for the Fallout computer, and I've thought about it so often that it feels like I've built it ten times already.

    I'm going to have to draw the plans up for the TIP-150 somehow. I'll end up doing them both-but which one comes first?

    It's a tough decision. With Fallout 3 Due next fall, I'm thinking Fallout 3, but the Tip-150 is calling to me from the back of my mind, tempting me away from the mainstream and into a world of new ideas...

    Sorry guys, I just went poetic on your ass. :p

    I'm sure I've seen that on here before. Superb.

    As we're on the topic of steampunk, how about this:



    I can't find much about it, I don't even know if it's a computer. But the shape looks about right.

    That telecalculograph thing is immense. I wonder if I can get dials like that?
