I think you have the terms "steampunk" and "old as hell" confused.

Nah, Tater, steampunk is old as hell with a touch of something modern. I love that style And that thing looks AWESOME, bevbor

You have it backwards, but I forgive you.

Anyway...

I would like to have one of these.

Well if you take something made in the past 10 years and make it look old...it's not authentic.

 

[Tater Mane]

The idea of the whole steampunk thing is to create modern things that look as though they were created in Victorian England, or somewhere similar.

 

[Odessa 086]

I don't know, all steampunk things I found were authentic victorian items with added modern touch...

 

[Tater Mane]

I have seen such things, but the main idea of the steampunk theme is to make modern inventions looks....not so modern.

That's just awesome.

And steampunk is a style where modern technology is made to look old, for the most part Victorian and/or steam era, though something can be roughly WWII era and will sometimes be called steampunk. It's about making technology look as though it had a golden age. Think about Old radios and TVs that had ornate brass trim and real wood casings, but applied to computers and such. Steampunk has heavy emphasis on leather, gears/cogs, nixie tubes, brass, real wood, toggle switches, ornate text. Technology built to last,; totally functional but also beautiful to look at.

Sorry, I've got a special fondness for steampunk. That's what happens when you love both history and sci-fi/geek stuff.

Who's going to be the first to make a steampunk Master Chief suit or weapon?
That tool box is cool, steampunk or not.
