This is the instructable that guides me to SteamPunk. :-)
I found in a Gothic shop a dragon head made of bronze. I bought it (just for further projects), put it elsewhere and forgot it.
A couple of month later I planed to build a NAS - System as a central storage for my home. I searched around for some material to build a case and then I found the dragon back.
An idea came in mind to build a desktop computer for my younger daughter (She loves dragons).
As the material for the case I decided to use copper pipes and for the case body I used beech.

I still work on my Steampunk Laptob and need one or two month longer to finish.
I think this is probably in my top five favorite ones of yours!
I love the idea of the copper pipe making the side of the computer - looks like it could be an old radiator or a heat exchanger....
