I see one of the requirements is a Windows computer...

So for a Mac user like myself, that $599 would include a good $1k+ for a Windows PC ?

Nevertheless I'm very excited about this tech, although I will not jump into it just yet.

If you've got a nice enough Mac, just install Windows on it via BootCamp (https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/).

BootCamp is unsupported, from what I can see. https://forums.oculus.com/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=27138&p=30263...

No currently sold Mac meets Oculus minimum requirements, to the best of my knowledge.

Correct, even the GPUs used in the top end Mac Pro fall short of the minimum requirement. Both GPUs rendering an eye each would be fast enough but that configuration isn't widely supported by games yet.
