How on earth can a Hewlett-Packard ZT1000 laptop that runs both Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux look this amazing. Well having the skills of Richard R. Nagy aka Datamancer is how. The steampunk laptop features an “elaborate display of clockworks under glass, engraved brass accents, claw feet, an antiqued copper keyboard and mouse, leather wrist pads, and customized wireless network card. The machine turns on with an antique clock-winding key by way of a custom-built ratcheting switch made from old clock parts”.

All I know is that any laptop I go out to purchase now will be completely dull and boring in comparison. I mean just look at the beautiful casing when the laptop is closed.
