Computers Oculus Rift DK2

Does anyone out there have one? I was originally going to wait for the production unit to be released, but caved in and ordered the dev kit. The turnaround was surprisingly fast, I ordered it last Weds and it will be here on Friday. I've heard horror stories about how slow the order process can be.

I know there are a lot of demos and some ports of existing games. Just curious if anyone here has splurged and bought one of these bad boys, and if so, what you are doing with it.

Why do I need to buy one is my question - I have heard good things about them but know very little

I was able to try out the first generation Oculus Rift. It was pretty amazing and very immersive. The big problem was the resolution was pretty poor. That should be fixed in the second generation and even better with the production units. I'm starting to look at the different uses right now. Gaming is the primary reason I want to mess with it, it also sounds like there is a 3D movie player too. I'll know more on Friday I guess!
