I'd buy one for my pet spider, his birthday's in two weeks!
nah.. better for a bee. they have lots of eyes
My spider finds your lack of knowledge of spiders disturbing.

I just got pwned a little
Moving the cursor between all those monitors must be tiresome... should set sensitivity to uber-high.
I find your ownership of a spider disturbing!
if only we could use 8 cursors.
You can't enjoy Crysis unless it's on 8 monitors, obviously.
But can it display Crysis at full resolution?
Everyone praises that game but I shun those kinda games. I mean, every game released should be designed to run very well on the high to highest-end machines in the market at the time of release... for some reason these developers think otherwise.
I for one am not going to play a game with a low frame-rate and play it again when I get a better machine in a year or two.
*shakes fist*
@above if your way of thinking was in the world, then we would still be sufficient with DOS games.
@risk
I think he's referring more to games with graphics can't be fully realized unless you use a $5,000 computer. Most games can be maxed out on a decent $2,000 PC.
Almost as cool as the 9-monitor display at Microsoft's Visitor Center.
Thanks, now I know just what I need for my birthday.
Who is going to pay for the keyboard I just drooled over? Joshua, where to I send the bill?
wanting.
I can see how this would be useful for a small studio with mass-monitor needs, security offices, and that sort of thing without them needed to destroy a wall just for the monitors. All they need is a sturdy table/desk/thing to attach it to and that's it.
Finally! I can see more than just an eyebrow in pictures taken on my new 13.6 megapixel camera!
Joy!
Stop taking pictures of eyebrows *Zoom out* :P
so _that_ explains why i keep getting cropped pics of eyebrows from n00b friends of mine! at least they tweeze...
Zoom out!? More like super zoom in! I. WANT. TO. SEE. YOUR. MOLECULES.
molecules? careful buddy, you're gettin awfully close to talkin bout them nanotechnologeez
And thus, Engadget memes have come full circle.
No questions on blendability or Doomability required.
Something's wrong with the people who responded to this comment.
The guy isn't taking pictures of eyebrows! For crying out loud! He's talking about the fact that his camera takes such high-res photos that he can't see the entire image at it's actual resolution.
Now, with this eight-monitor system, he can.
Of course, then your photos will have black bars dividing it into little blocks.......
Haha! I figured that's how they were originally replying but I chalked it up to that they understood what I was saying and just carried on a really strange joke in a really strange manner...Hooray!
@Missy
Thanks captain obvious, clearly we all thought he was "actually" taking photos of only his eyebrows
eight-monitor porn!
one for each of the major genres!
"Crap! A dead pixel!!!"
"Huh? Where?"
LMAO...That just made my day. If only I could vote you higher than Highest. Oh what the hell, I'll try anyway because you deserve it.
I hope it plugs in to one outlet. With all my other stuff around my computer, I'm not sure if one wall outlet would be able to handle that and I'd be blowing fuses all day long.
Since when do monitor mounts need to be plugged in?
For some reason this seems as if it would fit well in an evil genius' lair.
Swordfish did it... Or close, forget how many monitors there were, but lots of unnecessary 3-dimensional geometric shapes to represent computer hacking. Oh the joys of technology in Hollywood.
come to daddy.
come to Butt-Head
Finally, Night Trap can be played like you really are in control.
Think of the Nibbles possibilities!

How much does that weigh? I can picture my computer desk toppling over the next time I hit my keyboard in frustration.
i assume this comes with some kind of waiver that you have to sign each time you use this setup stating that you won't be filing any lawsuits against Humanscale for the dramatic loss of vision within three days of using this?
so how does Doom look at that resolution?
why dont they just got the panasonic 103 inch lcd

*sell their soul for
In the CalIT2 building at UCSD, we have a 11x5 tile wall display. Sure, it doesn't sit on a single mount, but it's at least built on prefab parts that you can easily buy. Actually, they have a spreadsheet that let's you configure your array of screens and calculate what parts you'll need to buy.
Here's an article with photos of a few in use. http://www.optiputer.net/news/TRECCarticle.php
So where can I get this spreadsheet?
