My three year old Alienware PC is ready for 2016 thanks to AMD.
The Alienware X51 was already a VR-Ready machine in its last incarnation before Dell pulled it, so long as you spec'd it up right at purchase. If you're not familiar, it's a box not a lot bigger than the Xbox One. The compact nature is one of the things that attracted me to it in the first place.
My own machine isn't one of the newer VR-Ready ones. I have an X51 R2, the previous generation model, and one that's coming up for three years old. I didn't buy it new either, rather getting a great price for it used. But thanks mostly to AMD and its new Radeon RX 480 graphics card I've now given this old girl a whole new lease of life and got it ready for a new virtual reality future. Big claims have been made about this card, and so far at least, I have no trouble believing them.
