steampunk laptop winds up to power on

This amazing laptop creation by Datamancer beautifully melds old world style with modern technology. Under the hood of this lovingly handcrafted wood case is a Hewlett-Packard ZT1000 notebook computer, running Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux.

The system features intricate clock mechanisms below a glass top, brass details, leather wrist pads and even claw feet. The highlight of the system is a gorgeous keyboard with antiqued copper keys.

My favorite touch: the system turns on when you turn a key from an old clock winding mechanism.

Kudos to Datamancer for a job well done.
