If it wasn't broken up, I'd be okay with it.

eh, not that impressive. first of all, when you're doing several times FSAA and anisotropic filtering, you're doing the rough equivalent of rendering at very high resolutions.

second, like joebenz said, that has be a pretty substantial disadvantage for FPSs..

third, like pete said, projector display better/cheaper/easier than that.

but it is interesting..

yeah, I am a firm believer in projectors.

When you have 4 people playing halo, and they all have 25" screens and surround sound to play on, that is the bomb.

depends on how much money you want to spend.

I havent found a better setup for gaming than DLP projector at around 108" screen, believe me, I have searched.

With that said, that is a cool setup, just not functional IMHO

It's more of a novelty than anything. However, It may have use in a lab environment.
