In any case, there have been some pretty neat steampunk mods for all sorts of things, from Star Wars steampunk (which, please, can we get a video game version of this?) to Xbox 360 controller, the fantasy of steampunk is a favorite within the modding community.
No, we don't think this Xbox 360 case mod oddity takes the cake, but it ranks fairly high up there in the long list of mods that are impressive from a technical standpoint, but next to useless from a practicality stance.
