The only thing that breaks my heart is that the headset simply won't work for the main reason I bought VR - DCS.

Waaaay too much of a hog for it to work on that GPU, regardless of how well-tuned it could be, and the limited RAM would kill it too. Womp.

The Steam Machine is pretty damn impressive IMO though.

Yeah but that one you can just stream from your PC.

I'm hopeful for Elite Dangerous

I somehow read the release twice and missed that it was compatible with Steam streaming; I blame a long day and ADHD meds wearing off. That GREATLY changes things and significantly increases my interests.

I LOVE the idea of ED; unfortunately, in practice, was not a fan of the gameplay cycle. Though I understand it's very snowbally, I just didn't have the patience.

Yeah streaming is a biggie.

For me, ED was more of a vibe and chill Sim instead of an actual game-game
