    I have the gaming desktop, and it's great for sitting all my crap on, but I don't think its really what you want for a keyboard/mouse.

    The magnetic paddle upgrade is amazing... I have them now with the podium paddles on my F1LE and I just can't go back to anything else
    My Rift S has been in Brisbane since yesterday but still says only getting delivered tomorrow... I'd pick them up from the BNE FedEx office today myself if the bastards let me lol

    so yeah took the Rift S for a good spin last night and was well impressed... I did drop down my VR Density in ACC from 120% to 110% as I was thinking with the increased resolution it would smash this a bit more...
    Still had some epic thunderstorm racing and it looked amazing and handled it super well! @beakeroo the wait ill be worth it! :)

    Added a ultrawiiiiiiide screen to my setup. Really happy with it, I was concerned that going from 2160p to 1440p would be an issue but this looks so much nicer than the 4ktv ever did.

    How much extra peripheral vision does it give you in-car?

    I'll post a picture later but it gets you the full dash and the full left mirror. You could change the FOV to pan back a bit and pick up a bit of the right mirror but I like it as is.

    Here's an image from the Porsche, not the best as I haven't played around with the FOV in this car, this was my first lap in it just before I knocked off tonight.

    It is listed as having freesync in the specs.

    I think maybe it was freesync ultimate (which works with G-Sync capable devices) I can't recall but there was an advantage to buying the CHG9 (1080p version of my screen) over the Kogan equivalent but obviously at a premium. Maybe it was colour correction or response time. Check out some video reviews though as they all rate the Kogan screen highly. I think it was called something beginning with V in the US.
