I was looking at the oculus rift website. Might just buy one of those prebuilt "rift ready" systems. It would make things really easy. We'll see how much they go for though. It's probably still cheaper to build one with better components though.:patrice: Gotta do some thinking :jbhmm:

I was wondering if ultimately two gpu setups would be better for VR since it renders two images :jbhmm:
Steam Controller Skin came in. I am not feeling the portals that I originally thought would look alright. There was an air bubble on the left side that drove me nuts. I might just order a whole new skin just to replace that little corner :snoop:

Glad most of the gloss is out of the way, but decalgirl should have included a bottom flap to cover the bottom glossy part as well.

I will test the pads tonight so see if the stickers cause issues, I am thinking it might.

I have been, but mostly on the desktop getting used to how it works. I have been slammed at work. Monday is probably a 4-5 hour session with it. I am waiting to see if someone writes a script that can make the Windows 10 on-screen keyboard pop-up and type like we can within steam...that would be cool. I am trying it for a couple of minutes with the skin on to see how it reacts, probably won't feel nothing :martin:

BTW, has anyone messed with the Mushkin Reactor SSD series? I just got a 1TB free and can't wait to clone my installation over to it :lupe:

For the nvidia heads, get a 980 now or just wait until Pascal? It's weird being in this Intel/nVidia world...I feel like I betrayed an old friend in AMD after how I ate so well with them for many years.

Just played with it for a few minutes and to my surprise it has not made an impact on the pads.

First time I have ever ordered from this site, pretty impressed. Total was about $13 shipped :ehh:
