"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".

My "The Ampersand" parts list, as compiled by PCPartPicker. Running core i7 4790K "Devil's Canyon" liquid-cooled by Corsair H100 AIO and GTX1080.Not entirely complete, since PCPartPicker is missing price list for the motherboard and the monitor. Also, using the Samsung SUHD 4KTV mostly now. Price bloated to USD3071 due to the inclusion of the HTC Vive Headset. Also using the Razer Turret and the Xbox One Elite Controller which I deemed necessary for couch gaming, although the Turret will be replaced with Corsair Lapdog once it is released. "The Ampersand" is built specifically with VR in mind, as well as keeping its form factor as small and slim as possible, to either fit into the entertainment cabinet in a typical living room setup, or be as small and unobtrusive enough as well as stylish enough to suit its placement in the more common and frequented area in the living space of your home. The Silverstone Raven RVZ01 can be placed in the vertical orientation (to slip into the space beside or behind your living room big screen TV) or horizontal orientation (to be placed inside your entertainment cabinet shelf). Physical size is slightly bigger than an Xbox One. Who says PCs have to be big hulking ugly towers?

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.

My "The Endgame 3.0" parts list, as compiled by PCPartPicker. Not entirely completely part listed, since PCPartPicker does not include custom liquid-cooled components like waterblocks (I have three for the three Titan X GPUs, one CPU waterblock for the overclocked 5930K, flow indicator, pump blocks, acrylic tubings, TONS of shiny silver Bitspower tube fittings, 360 radiator at the top, one 240 radiator at the bottom, two high pressure pumps pushing custom red pastel liquid coolant from Mayhem, and liquid reservoir cylinder in vertical configuration.)

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.
