Virginia Tech known for some of the worlds most prestigious computer and technology research seems to also be experimenting with today’s gaming computers.

Virginia Tech's 24 display workstation is running at 10240 x 3072. Apparently it takes 12 Linux servers running distributed computing software to operate the mass of screens. But at least you can brag your system is pushing 31 million pixels.
It's amazing how much more fun games are when you can play them on really large, high-resolution screens.

    I'd buy it if they could get 60FPS out of it :)

    Just get two identical LCD projectors with VGA inputs, run them in dual screen mode and butt the two projected images next to eachother. That'd be a lot easier, capable of a much larger overall image and could easily be run from one machine.

    True but a projector can't do wrap arounds!

    As a matter of fact they can. You can get it to work by adjusting the keystone of the projector (nVidia's display drivers also support this with software) and shape the projector screen accordingly.
