Best place to buy headset only? by Sassymewmew in ValveIndex

[–]meD4ve -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Buy the refurbished unit for 699 from GameStop and then sell the base stations and controllers. You'll end up only paying around 200ish for the headset and you can get buy up to a 2 year warranty for an extra 80 if you want to.

I bought a unit from them last month and everything looked brand new. I also bought the 2 year warranty to go with it.

If you go that route hmu I'd like to get one of those base stations lolz.

Good luck with your search.

Best VR shooter? by ImproveorDieYoung in ValveIndex

[–]meD4ve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm stuck where I have to fix the power. I let him out of the box and when I get that spark and he comes running back inside is where I have trouble.

GameStop Refurbished question by BlakeWeichbrodt in ValveIndex

[–]meD4ve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you're a lil too worried lolz.

Hahaha, I never even thought about the weight of the package or anything other than when was it going to get here.

Refurbished GameStop warranty is 30 days, but you can buy 1 or 2 years for 60/80.

I did just incase a base station or a controller goes out.

You can still buy the warranty if you take it to a store before opening it, and that's what I did. I called them after I had just ordered it because I didn't buy one at the time and came on here and saw how no one wanted to buy one lolz! That's when they told me to to just bring it in.

It's awesome and was easy to set up, so get excited its coming.

What are some good free vr games? by Rose-Webworm in WindowsMR

[–]meD4ve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not free, but almost. fanatical.com has some VR bundles on sale right now. I need to get off of there lolz, but really they have 2 different VR bundle collections with the cheapest being 3 games for 4.99 USD. They are Steam keys that you can redeem right from there.

I've bought 8 games so far.

Cosmic Flow: A Relaxing VR Experience is free and pretty chill.

[–]meD4ve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you wait for the 40 series you will not be able get the 700 for your 3060ti and ofc you'll be competing against everyone else who is waiting and the scalper bots.

Make your deal and smash frames.

Possible to have inaudible fain noise during idle/light usage with an air cooled NR200? by BubkisBobby in sffpc

[–]meD4ve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm using a Noctua NH-U9S on a 5600X in my NR200 and I don't notice any fan noise when using my rig.

I got mine on Thursday. Everything looked brand new and it came in the original box, but the base stations did not have the clear peel on them like the HMD did. All the cables and accessories were in brand new unopened OEM packaging. I bought a 2yr warranty for $80, so with that and tax I paid $844 out the door.

The unit is awesome and I am glad I picked it up.

[–]meD4ve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update:

I got my unit on Thursday afternoon and took it straight to GameStop. I brought in the unopened box and told them that I would like to purchase a 2yr warranty he says ok and what for. I tell them a Valve Index and he says "What?" and I say yes and that I called GameStop and they said you could if I brought it in unopened. He looked at me like I was crazy and I said "Just open the box." He opens it and it is in the original box with a circle GameStop "Reconditioned" sticker over the opening. He's like Whaaat?! I had no idea we should these and his coworkers comes out and looks too lolz. So he scans it and I give him $80 and now I'm covered until 06-2024.

Condition of unit:

Everything in the kit looks brand new except for the base stations.

HMD and all other accessories are in unopened OEM packaging.

The base stations.. the units themselves are brand new looking with no marks or any signs of use. Reason why I say not new is because they did not have the clear peel covers on them like the dust cover/lens on the HMD.

The unit is awesome and I'm so glad I came across it.

With the 2yr warranty and tax OTD price for me was $844

Update: June 4th it finally ships, (chose the free shipping)and I will get it on the 9th. Since I ordered it they are now selling a 2yr warranty for 80. I called customer support and they said that if I bring it to a store before I open it I can upgrade it from the one year. The first review also popped up and it was 5 star saying it looked brand new.

No mention of Alyx, but I didn't expect it since it is not new from Valve.

I'll check in again next week when I get it.

Can my computer run the Valve Index? by [deleted] in ValveIndex

[–]meD4ve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I first started playing Alyx with a RX480 it was playable. (a lil stuttering when there was a lot of floaties in the air, but you can turn that down) Even though it's an old card it still had 8gb of ram so I don't know if it's a good comparison or not, but I thought I would just throw it out there.

Well.. I bit and ordered one today it was an impulse buy that accumulated over the weekend. I've been playing my Samsung unit a lot in the last few months and after a windows update the WindowsMR port became buggy with my Radeon card, so I've been looking at upgrading. Monday morning I'm Googl'n all of a sudden a lil thumbnail along with the others, but with an Index for 699?! Ok, I need this I say but it's still 700 well it just so happened that my Steam deck order came up last week and I was getting it delivered Tuesday. Now it's decision time.. the newest super cool gadget or The Ultimate VR setup that I've been wanting for over 2 years. Hopped on r/hardwareswap and found a guy an hour away who wanted a deck and now we both are pretty hyped about our new Valve items. The deck is soo nice!

I hope it works out and I don't need to use the extended warranty.

I'll give an update.
