Today we got the PC running and Got the Oculus Rift set up. We began by powering on the PC. I discovered yesterday that the pins that connect the power button to motherboard were not entirely connected. They must have come a little loose when I was doing some cable management. I plugged those in and pressed the button and it powered on. Today, we turned it on and, with the Windows Installer USB in, we installed the OS. We wiped the drives and re-formatted them. I'm not sure how to recover the storage space that was taken up by the UnRaid stuff. This will be something to look into. Once the OS was installed we had to download the driver installer to get access to all of the Motherboard and non-motherboard components. Next, we downloaded Google Chrome, the Nvidia GPU software and drivers, and the Oculus software. Setting up the Rift was pretty quick, as the setup guide was very nice and straight forward. By the end of the period, we were playing games and experiencing the Oculus Rift. It is an amazing piece of technology. It has potential as both a media consumption device and a very powerful tool in creating and exploring VR content for many purposes.
