as we get into the final countdown towards the launch the big VR headsets oculus rift and the HTC vive you're going to see a lot more deaths house built around that this is one that is actually specifically built around that it's the Origin PC Chronos VR built from the ground up for virtual reality aimed at VR enthusiasts and also VR developers and it's also one of the most compact systems that we've seen that will support it using the special desktop part so that you need to run one of these VR headsets even though it's very small the GPU and the RAM the storage are all upgradable what I like most about this custom chassis is the rubber feet they're magnetic and they pop off so you can set it up either horizontally or vertically you just pop the feet off to take them on the other side set it down whatever fits best on your desk of course because its origin you get free lifetime labor and 24/7 us-based support that's very important you pay a little extra for that this system starts at $17.99 but for that you get an overclock Intel Core i7 you get an NVIDIA GeForce 970 GPU you have to get faster video cards you can go all the way up to a Titan X in this guy and it's liquid cooled which is both hard to do in a small case like this but also very important to do because all the parts are in there pressed very tightly together and the system can get very hot when it comes to VR we ran all of the standard tests there's a valve version and in oculus version and the valve version we got a fairly enthusiastic rating for VR report in the oculus version we got the green checkmark which means that the parts here meet the minimum required specs for the oculus rift on top of that it's just a great all-around compact woman almost a portable gaming system that is the origin pc Chronos VR
