Reader WoWspace of the Week: Facecake
This week's Reader WoWspace of the Week comes to us courtesy of Facecake, a level 70 Night Elf Hunter with the guild <Repentance> on Kul'Tiras, EU. Much like last week's Reader WoWspace, Facecake is also sporting a great big TV in his WoWspace. Unlike Taeo, however, Facecake appears to be actually using it as a TV with two monitors below it instead of as his primary monitor for gaming. For those curious about the setup in this week's Reader WoWspace, then check out the details and more pictures (with a bit less glare) after the jump!


Facecake was kind enough to send several pictures this week so we can enjoy the nice clean WoWspace he spends his time gaming in. He let me know that his guild, Repentance, is currently in Tempest Keep and working their way through The Eye. (They were past Void Reaver when I got the original mail a couple of weeks ago.) When not spending time in WoW and raiding with his guild, Facecake lives and works in Nottingham (UK), and probably has to deal with tourists asking horribly silly questions about Robin Hood.
For now, here's Facecake with the rest of the information on his setup:
Be that as it may, it is certainly a nice setup with tons of screen real-estate goodness. I have to admit, the idea of catching up on some of the Dr. Who episodes I've missed while waiting for raids to start up would be nice. (Of course, Facecake seems to like watching Big Brother.) That said, I think this is the first time I've seen a copy of Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time so close to a copy of Deuce Bigalow. Of course, since Facecake also has cool films like Donnie Darko and the Star Wars saga tucked in there, we'll figure whoever has the desk next to his put that movie in there when he wasn't looking. ;)
If you'd like to show off your Reader WoWspace (with or without TV) feel free to send along some pictures and all the important details to us here at readerwowspace@gmail.com!
For now, here's Facecake with the rest of the information on his setup:
My setup basically gives me everything I need. I have my Acer HDTV with SkyHD so I have something to do while I am waiting for the 15 minute mark of death de-buff to go away. This is also hooked up-to my PC, so I can just lean back and switch WoW onto the big screen. However, to do tend to watch TV more.
I also run two accounts and sometimes dual box on my Acer 19" TFT monitors, which is great fun when I'm playing my Gnome Mage twinks. (2x Pyroblast Crit = FUN) My computer consists of an e6600 core 2 duo processor, 4 gigabytes of ram and an 8800GTX graphics card. These processors are great for over-clocking and some insane speeds can be had with the correct cooling.On an aside, I have to wonder if playing Enya at people mid-raid over Vent wouldn't qualify as "Cruel and Unusual treatment" myself. I'm pretty sure in my guild at least, it would earn me a universal mute for a few minutes!
I also have a mass DVD collection as you can see part of it in the picture, which is handy for watching when waiting on guild invites. Once in a raid, I have the trusty iPod available for my Enya collection when people get a little heated on Ventrillo mid-raid. :-)

An Apple keyboard but no Mac? That isn't something you see everyday.
Pook Aug 12th 2007 11:36PM
Meh!...Donnie Darko most over rated film ever..
Dave Aug 12th 2007 11:46PM
Nottingham? What state? I live in Nottingham, MD...lol

Deuce Bigalow is a classic, that all young men are required to like. I have to ask why he has the movie "Thirteen". That's a movie about a 13 year old girl who screws up her life, not something guys tend to like.
Brudus Aug 13th 2007 11:03AM
I'm tired of these same exact wowspace articles. It's always some spoiled fuck with this dual LCD setup and his thats so clean you could do surgery on it. When are you going to do a real wowspace. Show some guy with a filth encrusted desk with his 19 inch CRT monitor and a computer sans cover.
Baluki Aug 13th 2007 12:10AM
Why would someone deliberately choose a Mac keyboard over every other keyboard out there?
Jift Aug 13th 2007 12:20PM
the movie thirteen alone makes this guy awesome.

"2. Meh!...Donnie Darko most over rated film ever.."
There IS something wrong with you, please seek help or learn to see a movie for more then what is on the surface, the movie has alot more to it then you think.
@6
wow you need to calm down, some people take pride in their computers and like having current things with a clean desk. Just because you cannot manage your money to have nice things does not mean it is not a functional setup. Reader WoWspace of the week is a look at a GREAT setup from a reader, why would they show something crappy? It'd be like watching a beauty pageant and saying "look at all the good looking girls, thats not normal why don't they bring out the over weight ugly women!?"
Please people put more thoughts into comments like this.

I have a friend who uses a mac keyboard with no Mac.
The keyboard has a great amount of travel and you can map it like any other USB keyboard. I happen to like it for gaming myself, but then I use a mac any way.

Encodes Aug 13th 2007 5:44AM

facecake Aug 13th 2007 8:28AM
haha, yeah OK OK I take it on the chin about Big Brother :-) Guilty! however, I dont watch them sleep! and as for being a spoilt fuck "I wish!" - I have a job, save my cash and spend it on stuff that makes me happy :-)

lol nelf hunter
nice setup.... big screen would be pretty un-functional for gameing, since its so big and above everything, would be uncomfortable to play on... perfect setup though with the dual 19" for playing and big-screen for TV, would give you something to do during res-rebuff time haha.

Yeah, I'm with #6. My desk has 3 19" LCDs on it running two WOW accounts with the oldest box running a file server/ internet browser.
The difference between me and all these other featured "WOW spaces" is that I just came home from work and cleared a whole trash bag worth of crap off the desk and it's still covered with ashes, cigarette packs, and empty cups and cans.
I can assure you that my set-up is the norm, and all the featured spaces are exceptions.

Did anyone else chuckle at what's 3 discs down from the thirteen DVD?
Langerhans Aug 13th 2007 10:36AM
@2- I've seen Donnie Darko and while I think it was good and interesting, I also don't think it is as awesome as a lot of people think it is, but it's my opinion as yours is yours.
@6- I agree with #7's post... Why would you want to feature a crappy workstation or work area? The idea is to feature WoWSpaces that are a little bit (or a lot) better then an average area would be. I myself like a real clean work area both at home and at work. It just helps me work (or play) better.
And please keep in mind that just because people have HDTV's, dual wide screen LCDs, and other toys doesn't make them spoiled. I've got a lot of toys, but have worked for them and accumulated them over time.

Don't make fun of Notthingham - my mum comes from there. :p
Seriously, I agree with #15 and I might take a photo of my workspace, complete with my monitor which sits on top of a Fawlty Tower VHS Boxset.
