                      may look like a Victorian music box, but inside this intricately
                      hand-crafted wooden case lives a Hewlett-Packard ZT1000 laptop
                      that runs both Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux. It 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.</FONT></STRONG></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.datamancer.net/steampunklaptop/steampunklaptop.htm"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.datamancer.net/img/3CDD2F39-1C20-4CCD-888D-308E70DA05C1" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.datamancer.net/steampunklaptop/steampunklaptop.htm"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.datamancer.net/img/DCD756FC-92AF-49E5-9ED9-37E23BC76E5F" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.datamancer.net/steampunklaptop/steampunklaptop.htm"><DIV align="center"><STRONG><FONT size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">
The violin-style sound holes, or "F-holes" are functional
                speaker grills covered with black cloth. For a little added redundancy,
                the original power switch is accessible through the speaker fabric.
                        If you need to do a hard reboot, you can take a pen or
                        pencil and press down on the fabric in the dead-center
                        of the leftmost lobe of the f-hole to contact the button.
                        The original keyboard LEDs now shine through small
                        plastic gems.</FONT></STRONG>
