Looks like a SteamPunk inspired creation. I like it.
My father-in-law gave me a bunch of his old oscilloscopes and other neat antique electrical thingymabobbers. If I ever get some free time I know what I'm going to build!

This intrigued me to no end. I did some searching and came up with his build thread:

Yeah. I was talking about the displays, all of which are analog, as far as I could tell, despite the modern underpinnings.

I should just sell every tool I own and become a hermit....
Geez, he made all new drawers and discarded the purpose built brass knobs in midstream. I think he redid the speaker grills too, and didn't even mention it. It took me a while to figure out what the oil behind the bubble was, how cool is that idea?... The guy is an artist of the first rate, and a craftsman of the first rate plus one.
I think if Roger Penske built clever furniture instead of record breaking race car teams and Fortune 500 corporations, this is how he might go about it....

Veneered MDF is a very good choice for a functional piece of furniture because it does not expand and shrink with seasonal humidity changes, especially in a shop that may not always be climate controlled.
It's much harder to glue up a panel of solid wood, plane it flat and have it stay flat.

Everything on his site is beautiful! He's got me wanting one of his video game units and I'm not even into that sort of thing. Truly an inspiring craftsman.

Simply gorgeous. And a perfect place to restore antique cathedral radios.

From a user friendly standpoint, it wouldn't work for my needs. Using the top work surface basically defeats the usability of the storage drawers.
Other than that, its pretty freaking awesome! By sure to check out the link to the detailed build. Built in Sound system, liquid cooled PC, volt meter, lighting, and soldering station.http://forum.coolermaster.com/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=16194

The CPU for his computer is liquid cooled, and he's piped the coolant up to this view port! A visual widget.

Sorry, but I am not impressed.
Not impressed with the electrical aspect or the cabinet making.
Looks like it came from the 60's.
But lots of drawers.

I believe that was the point. Something modern concealed in something that looks vintage. Not to mention its a highly functional workstation for almost any project.
