So, some people may have received their Rifts today. Many more will receive this week and beyond. I figured I'd kick off a thread for people to post photos of their new Rift or their Rift setups. I'll start with mine.
This is just the Kickstarter Edition box. Nothing you probably haven't seen before, but still such an impressive looking box. Hats off to the design team for coming up with something so sleek.
This is a flexible tripod arm I got to mount the tracking sensor on. You may not know, but the sensor twists off at two lengths, one at the base and one almost at the top. I screwed it off the top thread and attached it to this $15 flexible tripod.

Just went through Dreamdeck and some of Dead Secret. It's so good. I've even done Dreamdeck at least like 3 or 4 times before, but somehow it was just way better finally seeing on my home rig. The part with the alien almost seemed real. Can't wait to try some of the other content for longer sessions (as for work I can usually only test for shorter periods).
Please feel free to share your setup too!

Some sick setups. Here is my contribution. I had an i5-4790k with 16gb ram and while it was running VR.. I had to have the best didn't want to short change anything.
New setup is:
i7-6700k OC'd to 4.5 GHZ
Corsair H100i v2
MSI Z170A M7
16 GB Corsair DDR4 RAM
Samsung 950 HD (256 GB)
Corsair Obsidian 750D airflow case
EVGA 980ti FTW card (debating returning for Pascal)
Next up is my actual display. Running a single monitor since this card only has 1 HDMI port and it is being taken by the Oculus. Thinking either the Dell GSYNC 27 inch monitor or maybe the Acer Pred 34.. pricey though.

Hell YEAH!!! If I'm not mistaken, that's an old repurposed V1 VWE Battletech Center pod, at least most of the bottom of one. Damn man - I have such fond memories of that place! Spent countless hours at the one at Navy Pier in Chicago, and the best part was that right next door was a Virtuality VR site and a badass lasertag area!
Soooo much fun, so many good memories.... how I miss that place.

good eye, the shape is based off of it but i built it from scratch. I'm a huge fan of the Battletech pods (i have a set of 4 of the Tesla II pods) some of the decals are even from the newer pods. most of the 3.0 ones are long destroyed. i know of maybe 6 that are still in existence. the pic you posted was from the nick smith collection.
🙂 mi et up
Here's mine:
Thrustmaster T300RS wheel
Thrustmaster TH8RS Shifter
Fanatec Clubsport pedals
Steel frame made out of an old desk and some 1x1 square stock. Need to build joystick/throttle mounts still for Elite: Dangerous.
Desktop is home built
Intel Core i7 4790k
Radeon R9 390 8GB
16GB RAM
Old school Lian Li aluminum case.
No inside case pictures as it's embarrassing, cables EVERYWHERE! And why yes, I have been playing Project Cars...
My Oculus build is still waiting......for the Oculus
