I've always been a fan of Virtual Reality ever since I saw the Lawn Mower Man when I was little. Over the past couple of years I've managed to pull together some really decent high-end equipment from constantly scouring auctions and what not.

Well I REALLY lucked out this time..as I managed pull this SUPER highend N-Vision Datavisor 80 HMD off of ebay for just $250 (Original Price Tag?... A cool $90K!) Running at 1280x1024 and offering a HUGE 120 FOV this badboy ain't no joke!

I've had some previous experience with N-Vision equipment in the past and have a card capable of feeding it natively already on the way so it should be up and running soon. There are also some comestic touch-ups and re-alignment/calibrations that I want to do so, etc. so I'll post more pics and details as I make progress. If you're a VR nut like me and have any questions / comments feel free to post them here. ;)
