Can you give instructions on how to wire something like this up?

 

[Hasty]

Excellent.

Saw a steam punk Mac six months ago. Would love to have one but the work involved....

 

[Robotguy]

Thanks for the kind words!

I have added a bit to the blog post including the schematic for wiring it up and some build pics.

I am adding a "working" steam power plant to it, and posting the build log over at the steampunk forum on BrassGoggles:

Nobody will ever know what's inside

Great job....especially on the 3 USB ports !

I think it needs a pressure gauge (aka analog voltage gauge)

Kinda like this:
