-THE DIFFERENCE ENGINE, by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling (steampunk novel by cyberpunk genre pioneers)
-I haven't read FIVE FISTS OF SCIENCE, but it seems to be in that vein.
-It's not really educational, but Red-5's ATOMIC ROBO comic (starring a robot created by Nikola Tesla in the early 20th century) arguably has steampunk elements.
-Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill's LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN volumes both have steampunkish elements in them.
I bought 2 books on the history of weapons and knights for the guns and armor. I'm back to buying reference books. I know I could find the stuff on the internet but the photos were just too nice. And the weapons book has a bunch of soldiers wearing military coats. :)
Slack told me to watch Fullmetal Alchemist. I'll have to find a manga of it today.
You know I have Treasure Planet and I totally forgot about it! I'll watch it again.
Try Metropolis or Howl's Moving Castle (Miyazaki again). And... I want to say Fullmetal Alchemist, because it feels like it falls in the category, but I'm just not sure about it.
Definitely check out Atlantis: The Lost Empire. That movie IS steampunk, except for the magical flying fish-cycles. And I think that Treasure Planet has some elements of it as well. They'd be perfect sources of inspiration!
Steamboy beats them both for sheer steaminess, though. That was a fun movie to watch. ^_^

That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

*chuckles* You sure are getting serious about this! Makes me feel lame for writing such vague descriptions. :)

And then there are the "Girl Genius" comics, available on dead trees in a comic shop near you!
