THE CHOCOLATIST. Kommun - Utställningar - Ångmaskinhallen på Stadsmuseet. 1902-ford-999-racecar-0849. Victorian All-in-One PC. The inexorable march of technology has rendered my 4:3 aspect ratio 19" LCD mod and my pump-less water cooled PC obsolete, so when I saw at 24" wide screen monitor on sale for $299.00 I grabbed it with the intent on making a Steampunk All-in-One PC. The first step was to strip down the monitor and trim it into a nice clean and even rectangle. I taped some paper over the face to protect it from scratches and removed the base and back before cutting it to the desired height on my table saw.

Note: turn the volume down, it came over much louder on the video then it actually was! I then fabricated an aluminum plate to support the monitor, motherboard and disk drives. The base was made from these nice knick-knack shelves I found at our town dump. The longer of the three shelves was placed face down to form the front of the base. I finished the base with a coat of black spray lacquer and topped the supports off with some pieces of a brass chandelier from my junk box. Damnation Hildebrandt! Things have been far too quiet, I have heard nothing from the labs of my arch nemesis Jake-of-all-Trades Hildebrandt - and now I know why. Not since Kirk bellowed "KHAAA....AAN!! " has the interwebs heard such exasperation! So THIS is what you've been up to? My god man, what have you wrought? More here and two more shots after the cut - the rest at Jake-of-all-Trades Flickr.
