How big is your planned playspace?
Additional sensors, cables to extend the headset USB/HDMI. Avoid going above 2m extenders as you may have issues and need HDMI repeaters.
PCI Card for people with substandard USB subsystems
These are the good cards which work for most people and are recommended by Oculus
StarTek 2 port card (1 controller) – Cheaper StarTek option that could be used for 2 sensors or a sensor and headset.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013HT6K3Q
Supported Inatek 4 port card (1 controller) – Don't get the 5 or 7 port card as the design is not really suited for Rift sensors.
https://www.amazon.com/Inateck-Superspeed-Ports-PCI-Expansion/dp/B00B6ZCNGM
Use the Inatek for your two front facing cameras and nothing else. Plug your third or fourth USB 2.0 camera and Rift HMD into your motherboard.
Supported StarTek 4 port card (2 Controllers) – Optional middle tier PCI card solution which can run all four sensors or 3 sensors and HMD. Equivalent to two Inatek cards.

Supported StarTek 4 port card (4 Controllers) – Optional top of the range PCI card solution which can run all four sensors or 3 sensors and HMD. Equivalent to four Inatek cards.

Edit: You again :) I've responded to 3 of your posts today :) Seems like you made a decision. Some more stuff below you could think about.
Replacement Interfaces, Covers and Foam Inserts
VR Cover is what you need when you have sweaty friends who leave your headset foam soaking wet and gross.
I'd recommend the new facial interface with easily swappable foam pads. Swap out that soaking wet foam in seconds for the next person using the Rift.
Alternatively you can go the cheap option of just a cover for the existing rift interface but it takes a bit longer (~30 seconds) to swap and is nowhere near as comfortable.
While the cheap option is great the newer facial interface and velour foam pads are much more comfortable and better than the stock foam.
All of the above are washable as well.
For glasses wearers that do offer the replacement interface in a "deeper" version but it may impact on the FOV (Field of View) of the Rift as your eyes are further from the lenses. I have never tried these.

Screen Protectors
These Healingshield 48mm curved watch face protectors work a treat if you want to protect the lenses from scratches. I was skeptical they might impact the visuals but I honestly can't notice them at all. Don't buy any cheap versions of these as they are usually flat and don't sit on the curved lenses of the Rift properly. These ones fit perfectly and have no issues with bubbling.
Mounting Sensors
If you want to mount the sensors in the corner of your room you can unscrew the sensors from their base and attach them to wall mounts.
If you have access to a 3D printer these. I use them for three of mine
or these
Yep. I use a 6ft extender for the headset HDMI paired with a 6 ft USB 3.0 extender.
HDMI: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00JJ519KC/
USB: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00C7S2FRE
I've been using them for a little over a week now, not a single issue.
EDIT: changed to UK links.
Not available in most stores for same-day pick-up, but beats Amazon's next-week availability.
USB extensions
I also had a bit of confusion when reading through Oculus' guide to room-scaling about what to buy to extend my range, so I though I'd at least share what I bought for three sensors:
Total: $57.03
I bought the two pack of extenders because I've had iffy-luck with HDMI cables from Amazon before, and it was only a few bucks more for another one.
absolutely but only very few HDMI and USB are actually working correctly with the Oculus. Let me find the ones that I got off amazon that work. A few months ago there was a thread with all the working USB and HDMI cables that are compatible if the 2 I link are not sufficient.
edit: found it company "cable matters" provides both USB and HDMI not just USB
On a side note. lots of people are finding ways to tie down the cable on the desk or down low. Just incase you do yank on it you don't damage your pc by having it fall over while running.
edit 2: If memory serves, not all lengths work from each company, something about supplied power?!?!? But I do know that the 2 I linked are 6 ft and both work with oculus.
Below are the cables I used, all worked flawless for me, however I bought the $80 5gbps USB hub card
approved 6ft usb extension
approved 6ft 4k HDMI
for sensor extensions
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JJ519KC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Got these and havent had any issues. only issue is they only have a 2 pack.
No problem--I'll include them all, plus what I used to mount the cameras if interested. Again, no tracking or lag issues whatsoever. Works like it's plugged directly into the motherboard.

USB Cable extension for the cameras
Just made a passive 6ft extension with Cable Matters HDMI extension cable and a cheapo USB2.0 extension. Works great.

I have had no issues at all, this setup working very well for me.
I bought 2 meter HDMI and usb3(x2) extensions, and have their 3 ends strapped into a neat bundle, this is then secured discretely to the leg of my desk (I use velcro to keep things portable). I then have one of these attached about 60cm from the plug end of the rift's cable that gets clipped onto a drawer handle when the rift is plugged in and in use to protect the rift cables from being yanked out (kids, pets, clumsiness). When not in use, I have the cables coiled under my desk or inside the same old 15" neoprene laptop cover that I keep my rift in. This then either sits on my desk or is kept out of the way on the floor, propped up against the wall/desk (or under my desk).
edit: I have a big, solid, bankers-type desk. YMMV...
