Lounge area. Running the VR rig "The Ampersand". Core i7 4790K overclocked to 4.8Ghz and GTX1080 FE, the only version that fits into the Raven RVZ01. Custom AIB cards are fat f**kers.




"The Ampersand" rig hiding behind the TV. Slim makes it possible.
The Oculus Rift has since been moved to the main rig "The Endgame 3.0".

The rest of the items in that entertainment cabinet are: Sony BD Player, PS4, Nvidia Shield first-gen, Denon AVR, 2011 Mac Mini working as Plex MEdia Server (using it with wireless Apple Keyboard and Trackpad second generation), Nvidia Shield TV Android console, Sony HMZ-T3W Head Mounted Display Personal Home Theatre, and an Xbox One. The Ampersand is so slim, it fits behind the 4KTV. The breakout box with wires are unavoidable, I run the HTC Vive with "The Ampersand".


Size comparison of "The Ampersand". No longer using that Microsoft All-In-One Keyboard, now using Razer Turret. No longer using that wireless Xbox 360 controller, now using Xbox Elite Controller.




Couch gaming and VR happens here. The rollaway table is a staple necessity if you see lots of living room VR setup where you roll away the table to provide for the VR Room Scale area to walk around in.


I spend lots of my time in VR. Serious VR involves the HTC Vive, but if I just wanna chat with folks in AltSpace VR (think of it as a chatroom, but with you moving around in virtual space), I use my Samsung GearVR to stay untethered.

Core i7 5930K overclocked to 4.5Ghz, Tri-SLI Titan X overclocked, Asus ROG Swift Ultrawide PG348Q 3440x1440 G-Sync 100Hz. Oculus Rift VR system. Since the Rift is a seated experience, I paired it with this setup since I can freely swivel on the DXRacer seat.

Not pictured, the Razer Atrox fight sticks I use for online Mortal Kombat X and Killer Instinct PC matches, or the MadCatz Killer Instinct Tournament Edition Fight Stick if I feel like fighting on the Xbox One and using the larger 55" 4KTV.

Online matches ping manageable under VIP100 100Mbps UniFi. 192ms ping to west coast of USA, unless I get connected to rural America then even the local American players would be grumbling when they connect locally with that said player.

Decided to post up a photo record of my workstation that has been the victim of my ghetto mods and geekiness for almost 10 years:

Yes, the entire IKEA dining table has been turned into a cable-management frame and leaves most of it in plain view. Geekiness +25
Look, Ma! No cables on the ground! (Well, almost)

CPU tower is on a wheeled IKEA storage unit.

Stores all my tools and spares inside and easily wheeled into position for any work done on it.

Mouse pads are so overrated and overpriced ... glass table + window film = cheapest & largest mouse pad available!

2 gaming controllers, cause I'm a control-freak! Nostromo with a D-Pad useful for some software (Firefox, Spotify, RTS), the G13 with an analog stick useful for others (Photoshop, image editing, FPS). Yes, that's another monitor beneath the glass.

For the occasional doodling and document signing: Notebook computer LCD panel + LCD controller from EBay + Wacom Graphire tablet = Poor Man's Cintiq
Learning how to draw with a tablet in this manner is actually so much easier for noobs like me.

And because it isn't covered, the backlight spills out behind and it does create some rather interesting lighting effects.


Sad that I may have to take it all apart next year....
