    Looks good!  I was just talking with my eldest son on what it would take to build a system to run an Oculus setup.  Sadly my budget lies more along the line of waiting for the Raspberry Pi to be able to support it.  ;-) 

     

    Seriously though, it would be interesting to hear your observations on how it all runs.  I have not been able to see anything other than Samsungs VR Googles in action so far.
