Two custom steampunk modded videogame systems photo

Steampunk is all the rage these days and a couple of people have shown off their custom steampunk mods this past week on the Internets.

First up is this DS Lite case mod by Dtoider steampunk10.  He dropped his DS Lite and decided to salvage the thing by putting it into a Cuban Cigar box. The D-pad and buttons have also been replaced making this a pretty slick DS Lite. Check out steampunk10’s Community Blog for more pictures.

This next steampunk mod was created from scratch and is pretty epic. The MAME arcade cabinet is huge and has a little horror theme to it too. It took around 60 hours for the thing to be made and puts most other arcade MAME mods to shame. Check out SteamPunkWorkshop for more pictures of the arcade cabinet. (via Geekologie)

The builder of the arcade cabinet should have mapped a train whistle cord to the start button.

As terrible as the game Damnation seemed to be, it sure drew some people in to the Steampunk art style.

i will never understand why someone who clearly has a ton of talent would use an X-Arcade for the control panel. that cabinet design is amazing, but what a lousy controller. still not too late to fix though, and if the builder opts to build his own control panel, they can get some of those rad brass looking buttons/ball tops for the joysticks.
