You could probably get an entire wall covered. Then get some 3D glasses...

If you wanted to go for the entire wall, a handful of well aligned projectors would be best I think. Something like:

I didn't realize 3D projectors were only 1 grand. o-o; Not bad considering.

At this point, if you're willing to pay for bulbs, it's generally cheaper to buy a projector over a large format TV.

In all honesty I'm trying to picture what a normal consumer would need that much for. afaik it's mainly used to cache textures... 6g alone is probably enough for 2 instances of the hardest hitting game there is (whatever that may be atm).3 video cards with 6 gigs each.
