Steampunk LCD - classy and cool

At lunch yesterday a colleague from Sun introduced me to the term "steampunk."  Steam what?  Wikipedia showed me I was way behind the times.

I was thinking back to movies and books I've read, realizing they were "steampunk" and I didn't even know it, like The Golden Compass.

This same friend today pointed me to this awesome page where someone shows you step by step how they souped up their LCD monitor to be a steampunk monitor.  My goodness, look at this thing, that is just cool and classy.  That keyboard is pretty cool too, although I'm not sure it's practical (but probably good for preventing RSI).
