    I'm sorry but my walet just had a heart attack. I seem to be getting calls now from my credit card issuers saying they just rose my available balance too. >_<

    Honestly, that's too much for Quake 3, but I do love the idea with Warcraft 2. Finally I could see everything the computer sees when I play against bots. Now that's a great use for a lot of displays. :D

    Holy crap.

    I'd love to see that setup run FEAR, but it'd probably take at least two dozen 7800GTXs and a nuclear reactor to power the thing.

    WOW that's awesome, but I don't even think you could play properly with that setup.

    Maybe 9 screens set up like that would've been better.

    Wow, what nerds can do with a little imagination eh? haha

    Cheers,
    Mike
