Great info guys. I think I'll wait until next Tuesday; that's hardware hack night,
right?
As for the spare parts, well I've done the research on the parts needed, but
struggling to decide on quality, brands, and upgrades.
I'd be awesome to see if I can hit it off with some folks and put a build project
together to build one for the SUDO room. I could learn and then build mine based upon the
results.
Well, I'll look forward to meeting some folks next Tuesday.
Peace

I'm planning out my first VR gaming computer and would love to pick some brains and
talk components and build process. I'm looking to learn how to create in Tilt Brush
and develop Quantum Science visual educational environments.

I won't be there tonight (usually there on Tuesdays) but I'd like to note that we
have some parts for a VR developer system at sudo room. We may in fact have all the parts
if you look around and talk to people. I believe we have
* An Oculus rift v1 developer kit
* A super beefy ATX power supply
* A relatively modern graphics card (ask Robb)
* An old computer case that can be re-purposed
We may also have the right kind of RAM lying around, depending on what the right kind
is.
The only thing that really seems to be missing for a minimal setup is the motherboard and
CPU. I'm not sure what the minimum requirements for this sorta thing is, but if you
made a callout on this mailing list with missing components you might be able to put
together a working system for ~$0 at sudo room.
If you want to know where the Oculus and PSU are located just email me privately.
