Steampunk is something that greatly interests me, as well. A good mainstream example of steampunk themes is, in my opinion, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
Personally, I go for a bit more modern look-- early to mid 20th century, vaguely in the film noir style. I'd like to get my hands on some steampunk or neo-Victorian clothing, if possible, as the pure Victorian look is not up my alley.
