To put these into perspective, a 30" Dell requires a dual-link DVI cable, so it consumes somewhere between 3.96 - 7.92 gbit/s. Therefore, HIPerSpace's 14×5 wall of Dells outputs somewhere between 277 - 554 gbps of data, which is faster than the fastest networks today. The human optic nerve can carry 0.01 gbps (a factor of 30,000 times less).
