It's Wednesday night, so you know what that means!! No, not LOST.. sheesh.. It's time for Reader WoWspace of the Week, the lengthily-titled spotlight on YOU and YOUR SYSTEM!
This week it's back to a very clean setup, with a nice graphical twist at the end. I'll let the submitter explain:
I saw your article yesterday on Reader WoWspace and it reminded me of the glorious days of the site Spymac which used to ave a similar feature for Mac users.
It was enough to inspire me to dust off the digital camera and take a couple shots of the 3 places that I play most of my Warcraft at these days. The first is in my office which features a 30" Apple Cinema display being driven by a Dual G5 PowerMac (not shown). Next it on the desk is a 15" MacBookPro. Picture #2 is being driven by a 17" PowerBook on the previous generation 23" Cinema display and the last one (and perhaps the most comfortable!) is the 15" MacBookPro in ye 'olde comfortable chair (you gotta love WiFi).
What can I say, this game drives you to do some strange things and hence my motivation for sending in these pics. In 2006, I setup a little guild website called horderising.com which has turned into a collection of videos / comics / pictures about WoW that highly the creativity of the community. It's just something I did for fun and I thank wow.com for also highlighting the best in the wow community.
Take care,

I'm just a big fan of the clean setup, but the real kicker is here. Take a look at the back of his MacBook Pro! Imagine taking this puppy to meetings with clients - those in the know will fear you and respect you simply because you're showing off the might of the Horde. It just gives me a good laugh. I wonder what non-WoW players think of it. Have any of you customized your rigs with WoW art or designs?

Nice setup... but... Strategy guides? Don't those things get outdated so quickly its practically pointless to get them?

@6: aesthetics man, they look awesome. they also look unused, to answer your question ;p

So the setup above is mine and you are correct on where to get the stickers (jinx).
The strategy guides have either been gifts and/or freebies and I usually end up giving them out to friends as they discover the game and need to get their bearings and still contain some useful info from time to time.
I enjoyed the remarks about the sticker in meetings. I do freelance work and have taken it on several such meetings and almost without exception, there is usually someone in the room who also plays WoW but the looks are priceless.
btw - the names DenverSlash on Proudmoore (but no crap about the name as my 7 year old created the character and named him). These pics were taken two weeks ago and he's up to 64 now.

I had the same idea on my black macbook! Love the sticker, I've been looking into ways to color my apple logo red as well.

You know I am amazed at the number of Mac rigs in this section. I'm also amazed at the number of nice Macs this guy has. I started a Mac WOW site wowszers.com - but its been a struggle to get feedback from folks just like you. Maybe i should drop it and go back to work. sigh.
nice setup Jeff.

Re: #13 - Thanks for the kind words! I tried to check out wowszers.com but it doesn't seem to be online. Is the address wrong or what am I missing? I've enjoy seeing what you've created.
