Leading
the life of an Engadget editor, you don't ever think you could come upon a rig or setup with too much screen real
estate. Sure, you can overcompensate in any number of ways -- like, say, too much drive space (what, you really need 8TB?) -- but pixel acreage never struck us as
one of them. Until now. Say hello to Virginia Tech's 31 million pixel-pusher friends, their 24 display array
"workstation" runs at 10240 x 3072. Apparently it takes 12 Linux servers running distributed computing
software to operate, and can play Quake III at 15-30FPS. Well done, sirs, well done. We take it back, it's not too
much. It's never too much.
