Main reason I'm posting this is because I know the forum has many steampunk fans and many of us have seen pictures of various steampunk gadgetry on the web before but usually custom made stuff that we cannot buy. However, for $32 you can buy this one. Not super cheap for a 4gb drive, but for the cool factor the price isn't really going to hurt anyone either.

Ok, this 8.5' steampunk Predator is pretty freakin sweet!

That is damn cool. I would to have a nice steam punk collection, but I can imagine it getting expensive.

I want that flashdrive! I wish I had 32 gil lying about! Maybe I'll battle some monsters.

No hope on the figure tho, it's just an example. Nice thing is they're made to order so I assume you could request specific poses etc.

I love case modding, but IMHO that is NOT steampunk at all. That's just a vintage style case.

Here is real steampunk usb fd:

Oh no, more things that I prolly can't afford. *sigh* They look good too (especially that one --> "http://www.casemods.ru/modding/templates/images/texts3/3_1984image014.jpg" and ths one "http://www.yaplakal.com/uploads/post-3-12493580113709.jpg").

Maybe I'll try some case modding myself. If I get around to it I'll post some pics of my creation (Of course if it comes out fail, I'll just post some pics of cats instead).

You should start with a wooden case and clock's gears. The easiest way.

@mrHandy:
Cool. An uncle of min died about 2 months back and nobody sits in his chair so I've got the wood sorted. Also, my aunt owns an antique clock so I think I can source some gears from it
But yeah, gonna give it a bash at some point.
