For music I agree it is hard to beat Abney Park. Captain Robert also wrote a steampunk book based on their music called Wrath of Fate that was pretty good. Not JB good but pretty good. ;)
I also loved a trilogy that my wife found for me by Scott Westerfield. Leviathan is book one, Behemoth is book 2 and Goliath is book 3. Alan Cummings, the guy that was Floop in the Spy Kids movies and Nightcrawler in the X-Men movies does the narration for the audio book and he is an absolute pleasure to listen to.
There was a guy years ago that made steampunk keyboards and flat screen monitors. Did beautiful work but the link I have no longer works. Don't know what happened to him.

If it was the one I think it is (he got quite famous), he unfortunately died. I think earlier this year or a year ago.
Steampunk stuff I really love are:
Ministry of Peculiar Occurences. The thrid book in the series felt a bit too much James Bondish though. Eagerly awaiting the dead tree-version of the RPG. It uses FATE Core.
Another bokseries I like are: Bannon & Clare-series. A sorceress and a mentath. Very cool series, and quite dark

Is this the link? http://www.datamancer.net/steampunklaptop/steampunklaptop.htm
Conspiracy Theorist:
Yep Datamancer is no longer with us and the world is poorer because of it. His work appeared on Warehouse 13.
However Thomas Willford www.bruteforceleather.com/ whose work appeared on Castle, and Herr herrdoktors.blogspot.com/?m=1 are very much still active in the field as makers. It's worthwhile checking their work out. Herr Doktor is a Guest of Honour along with someone called Jim Butcher at a British Covention, Dysprosium next year. Small world isn't it?

How about Thomas Dolby's "A Map of the Floating City"? _Spice_Train_ has a blimp in it.
