Gotcha. Not a bad idea from an expensive component protection standpoint too. A further benefit of the Inline yoke both myself and Doge bought and your cable extensions is that it means less length of the precious Rift cable wasted simply reaching around the back of the PC but more importantly, if you trip or yank the Rift cable you don't risk destroying the HDMI port of, or heaven forbid the whole massively expensive GPU.
Have a G920 myself too. One thing to note about driving games. You might initially feel the butterflies/vestibular twinges when you take tight bends. This is because as a real life driver I presume, your brain is expecting some lateral G's when taking the bends. When it doesn't feel them it wigs out a little. Don't worry. After a few sessions your brain will acclimatise and that'll stop happening. My brother didn't experience it in pCars at all. He's not a real life driver so his brain had no frame of reference and didn't know it should be feeling lateral G's and thus for him there was no sensory mismatch for his brain to wig out over.
Similar will happen doing barrell rolls in Flight or Space Sims. You'll get your VR Legs soon enough. Just don't push past the 'sickness' Once you start to feel a bit iffy and clammy, stop immediately and come back a few hours later or the next day. If you try and push through it, two things will happen. 1. You'' render yourself bed-ridden for the rest of the day. 2. You'll start to create an aversion to VR in your Brain where even the smell of the thing will cause your brain to trigger an iffy feeling. Small does of the games that trigger VR sickness is the best way to get your VR legs.
It being a warm humid Irish Summer, you're going to feel a bit sweaty in the headset anyway especially if you wear it too tight. (Look up some Rift Strap adjustment guides) but believe me, you'll know the difference between sweaty Rifting in the Summer and and the Clammy slightly sickly sensation which is your que to take a VR breather.
Very interesting stuff, and good advice...I'll be sure to heed it (assuming I can pry myself from 'the matrix'
)me too also as well
Worse again, the seal on the box has open when it arrived to me. Amazon rebated 40 blips back to me, after confirming the product was new & my warranty was in tact0 -

Using this: https://uk.bidvoy.net/i7_3770k/164
It looks like it goes for about £150 or €170 in euro.
Kinda interested in upgrading my i5 3570K at the moment. I'll keep an eye on adverts if you end up selling

Ah now being realistic. You would be doing really well to get €170 tbh with you.0 -

You don't a need a "valid" windows 7 install, just an "activated" one, nudge nudge, wink wink!
Microsoft don't seem to care either.0 -
