I just posted a review of my DK2 with lots of photos, and workarounds for the two most common problems: the OculusVR service crashing, and the OculusConfigTool not detecting the headset.
Pretty good but your missing the most common issue which is the camera causing the service to crash.
You can unplug the camera which fixes that issue and also fixes games that don't support it.
There is also the sde emulator to work around the crashing while still using the camera. Getting that to work is kind of a pain due to the program files ownership permissions. Also, the batch file that runs the service needs to be ran as an administrator.
Personally I found the camera to jitter a little, which was annoying. There also doesn't appear to be a way to calibrate what is considered "center". Not sure if anyone has had a flawless experience with this
