Here's a break down of my desk... slightly more cluttered than yours. Good article – I like seeing where all the gaming happens! Hope it gets posted, somewheres ;)
So let's run down what we see in the image:
- BioFreeze for Carpal Tunnel - this is new to me? Where do I get it?
- Beer for Molten Core - as long as you're having a pantsless raid, may as well add beer!
- Widescreen Gaming Screen - widescreen non-gaming screens not allowed
- JoyStick with Force Feedback - I'd agree with the flying mounts comment if I had one *cry*
- Dust Removal Clothes - I'm pretty sure this should be cloths, but maybe the room gets REALLY dusty
- PSP for enduring login queues - YAY!! Another PSP-user for long flights and logins
- Smell Reduction Stick - From the WoWspace to the dance club!
- Thottbot/Work Screen - I like that Thottbot comes first
- Elder Scrolls Oblivion - I never played it, but I heard it's like an MMORPG without the M, the M, or the O
- Vent Headset and Mic - essential. Anyone else having a rough time finding the perfect headset?
- BIG DESK - walk softly?
- Scotch Glass for BWL - I like that MC needs beer, but BWL requires hard liquor
- Chapstick and Halls - umm.. you get chapped lips and a sore throat from too much WoW?
- A Nostromo *AND* a G15 - okay, I have these too, but didn't think to hook them BOTH up!
- Logitech Mouse - nice weapon of choice, sir
- Custom Rig: 2x for everything! That sucker must go! Does the dual video card make a difference?
So there you have it! Another awesome WoWspace, fully labeled for your appreciation. Tell us what you think, and remember to send in your WoWspaces to readerwowspace@gmail.com.

The tags make this the best WoWspace article evar! Nice. I'm tempted to make one now.

Now I want to kill myself...I play WoW on this lame Dell laptop.
Ouch.

My god... a Nostromo AND a G15? Macro overload!
Oh also lovin' the pre-expansion log in screen.

You can get Biofreeze from Amazon.

Holy crap! That's the same desk I have!

Imagine that - I have that exact same desk - and I love it! :)

LMAO... our Paladins were always sloshed on beer in MC and the rogues all seemed to hit the liqor for Vael & co... good to see we weren't the only ones that had simulataneous alcohol / raid progressions...

how does it work with mouse/keyboard when running WoW in fullscreen on one monitor and windows on another?
Woodstock Feb 15th 2007 6:26AM
I love it. Rather similar to mine, but I don't have dual monitors. I particularly enjoy the presence of the AMD dual core CPU... and the Intel mouse pad.

What's the Nostromo like for WoW? I've been toying with the idea of treating myself to one of these, but I haven't heard any user reviews of them yet.
I'm also interested in the dual monitor setup - do tell us more about how you use these with the mouse and keyboard!

"Chapstick and Halls - umm.. you get chapped lips and a sore throat from too much WoW?"
It's less from playing WoW and more from talking on Vent. He could be a raid leader or at least talkative.

I thought I was the only one who drank to get through 40 man raids... I was a healer, be nervous, be afraid!

You can get a much cheaper alternative to biofreeze that works just as well at your local pharmacist. It says on the label 'compare to the ingredients of biofreeze' on it.

The Nostromo 52 rocks hard core. I can't even play WOW without it now.
Mine is set up with the most common combat skills on the D-pad, move/strafe keys in the center of the key pad, other frequent abilities also on the key pad.

Hey guys, having a dual monitor setup like this works great, however you need to set your wow to run in windowed mode in "full screen" that way instead of alt-tabbing out you simply drag your mouse over to your 2nd monitor and surf thottbot, alakazam or wowhead. I also keep my ventrilo and xfire up on that second monitor. I also use my second monitor for TV using a TV box made by viewsonic. In fact i may have to post my setup it's quite nice i think.

Great system - this is what i play wow on -----
AMD Athlon 64 FX 2.8GHz Duel Core
4gb Ram
GeForce 8800GTX 768MB
4 250gb Sata hdds on a raid 0
Duel ViewSonic 19" Widescreen

I just so happen to be a WoW addict AND work at a place that sells a lot of Biofreeze. You can get it in pumps and tubes and rollons and even in a gallon tub with a pump for the hardcore raiders. http://www.bio-medical.com/results_MANU.cfm?inventory__ibrand=phi

Agree on the Nostromo. It took me about 3 weeks to get used to it and find a layout that I like, but now it's indespensible. I put my modifier keys on the D-pad (plus jump), which gives me 20 buttons to push (1-10, plus Shift+). I have no reason to have to have access to any more than that during combat. I haven't even gotten into any macroing yet... it's also cheaper than the Logitech keyboard.

What size is that widescreen monitor ? im thinking of doing a dual monitor setup with a 19" normal and either a 19 or 20 inch widescreen.
