Another movie: Wild Wild West (the one with Will Smith) has lots of steampunk-y goodness! GIANT STEAM-BELCHING MECHANICAL SPIDER OF DOOOOOOM!!!

Oh, and more music:
Deadly Nightshade Botanical Society
Beats Antique (I have a bunch of their stuff on my profile, they're music is tailored to tribal fusion dance but it's definitely steampunk-- I luff them!)
Ohh, and a good game: Skies of Arcadia. it's older and the battle system isn't very challening but it has a very involved plot. It's about airship pirates.
Oh, sweet! I look forward to seeing what they do with it. :)
I heartily approve of all of your suggestions.

The webseries Riese: Kingdom Falling

The book Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld 

Leviathan is also a great steam punk book.
