Piped and Rusted: Steampunk PS3


This modded PlayStation 3, manufactured by the steampunk-obsessed folks at Brass Goggles, was created as a prize for the recent release of Blue Omega Entertainment's Damnation. The steampunk-themed third-person shooter shipped last May for PS3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Brass Goggles put together the system without cracking it open or voiding any warranties, fitting wood veneer onto the case before attaching "an old radio valve, a pipe valve, a pressure gauge, assorted brass plumbing parts, and some trim." Liquid iron was also applied, then treated with instant rust.

You can see close-ups of the modifications, as well as a photo of the blog's previous steampunk PC, also created for a Damnation contest, after the break:

Does it have eight steam valves too?

Oh, wait - Valve hates the PlayStation 3.

I really want this for my ps3
