NASA's Hyperwall 7'x7' LCD display

NASA is using NVidia Geforce 4 video cards, AthlonMP processors, and Red Hat Linux 7.3 to create a super computing system to display 'up to six dimensions'." Press-releasy, but worth reading if you want to imagine the rec room of the future ;)

    We have contracted out the services of Libert to supply us with a 20 unit array of Air Condition Units to keep this "HyberWall" HyperCool. After completion we found the cooling of this monstrosity was more than the wall itself.

    To quote the last words of the Project Head "Hey where do we plug this in at?".
