I bought one 2 years ago based on the preceding post. Thanks for the recommendation though.
I coincidently cracked it open and added a second stick of ram to bring it up to dual channel 16GB this past weekend. The only downside I have with it thus far is its network card is not able to host its own network (can’t remember the proper term). It’s marginal for VR but it means it really is only able to do VR tethered vice being its own 5GHZ router and building a LAN for that purpose. Tethered VR is pretty awful… and it pretty much isn’t something I do. I might swap it out… but the variant of the 1060 it has is well down on power compare to my desktops admittedly long-in-the-tooth 1070 GTX that would be replaced with a 3070 RTX if I could find one for near MSRP. I’m not paying a grand for a midrange graphics card to some scalper.
