So I am ashamed to say that I had not hooked the DK2 up to the new machine until yesterday. It works really well.
I've tried the built in Tuscany Demo, the Desk Demo, BlazeRush, Windlands, and Titans of Space in that order so far. Keeping only the newest and best experiences for the DK2 in mind, what are your choices for the all time top 5 DK2 experiences so far? 34

THIS is really interesting. I think it could go two ways, it could fragment the market so much that there's not enough quality developer support for either ecosystem (ASSUMING that each company makes their stuff not play well with others)
OR It could go really well for the consumer. Think how Apple, Google, RIM, and Microsoft have all competed in the mobile space which REALLY drove innovation and made the mobile devices pretty awesome. Either way, What I really want out of Steam right now is a nice quality VR launcher. Semi-related, I want my Steam controller SO BAD. 35

OK, pulled the trigger and purchased everything yesterday. This will be my couch gaming / HTPC / Oculus couch machine. SOFUCKINGSTOKED.

It will be running XBMC but I will also be playing my Steam library on it as well. It's a bit thirsty on power for an HTPC and I know I'll be using more power while it's on. It's estimated wattage is about 337 so it's not terrible. The new 980 card is pretty power efficient and quiet too so that helps. Either way, it will be set to sleep when not in use. I already have the CPU and the SSDs so I built around those two items. Aside from that the biggest goals were for the machine to be as quiet as possible, blend in with my entertainment center, while still being able to run the most demanding content that I can throw at it (basically all the DK2 content). I think I did a pretty good job at balancing all of those things. I was hoping to get faster RAM in the build but in the end, I stuck with 1.5V RAM to stay within Intel's spec. That said, I got the lowest CAS latency RAM I could get at that voltage and frequency. I was hoping to get higher than 1866 frequency but it's CAS 9, so I'm sure I won't notice much difference. The whole system will support Intel's XMP memory overclocking so hopefully I'll see a boost there. Everything else should work out pretty great. I'll be using XBOX 360 controllers for the couch gaming stuff but I'm still really excited for the Steam Controller to come out. My wife is pretty stoked to be able to use a controller on the couch to play things like CIV 5. Anywho, This was fun planning this machine. Hopefully everything works out great. I'm excited to retry all of the Oculus stuff once this is built. I'll post pics when it's done. 43
