Miffed you didn't buy that $300 8GB steampunk USB drive we shared over
the summer? Well, the good news is if you've got $395 worth of
shillings lying around, Will Rockwell's 16GB steampunk USB drive
christened "The Collective" is yours for the taking. Besides its J.J.
Abrams-like name, particularly cool details to highlight include a
brass manifold featuring four coolant pipes, a large framed cabochon
which acts as a service light, and a faux-gauge made from a domed
cover and watch hand. A storage tank serves as a cap for the drive and
there's even a tiny plaque bearing Mr. Rockwell's engraved John
Hancock placed smack dab in the middle. Last but certainly not least,
the elaborate thumbdrive ships with a velvet platform and a glass
museum case, so that all who visit may bask in its craftsmanship and
finally see the rusted version owned by that Victorian-poser down the
block as the tetanus carrier it really is.
