I'm part of the MX400 group. Taught me so much about not just grabbing what my friends suggested and actually researching myself. After that I saved up till I could afford a used 9800pro. OMG the difference, the Difference!
Omg, was like wtf is in my alerts? Nice to see these still getting some love. Hell still have mine sitting on the shelf just waiting for me to try my hand at water cooling again.
Picked up the following and rebuilt the HTPC to support my VR habit. No more moving my comp into and out of the living room.
Ryzen 1600 + mATX MB = $140
16gb 3000 RAM = $60
1060 3gb = $70 used eBay
Rest was repurposed old gear from previous HTPC
Ok so in reality I tried it with the 1060 and it...
I'd suggest getting the best HMD you can reasonably afford or wait if we have a close launch date if something decent is coming out. And if the vid card can't keep up, then I think most people are just dropping the resolution to compensate.

I'm seeing a bunch of cards popping up on sites like SlickDeals frequently, which tells me things are about to really start moving price wise. I would not buy right now.
You can easily tell who deals with broad trucking issues and who doesn't. But I can promise you, big companies don't spend a dime on R/D needed for something like this unless they've spent a shit load of money finding out if this is viable or not, whether as a PR stunt or functional product. If...
Speaking of beating on Ony's toe, still one the fence to shell out for that new VR MMO. You literally have to have endurance for a long stints as everything you do is manual in the game, from physical attacks to spell casting.

Anyone jumped on this yet?

Thinking of picking this up but already snagged a few new VR titles from Christmas so not sure I've got the time to devote myself at the moment, but def looks promising.
Actually many insurance clauses state that they won't cover suicide only within the first 2 years

A buddy of mine found that out with his wife. It was sad either way, but she had done it a good bit after 2 years was up.
