Finally getting around to putting this workstation together, it will be running a 24000 lumen 5760x1080 interactive wall. Projection will be approx 40 feet wide, and 7.5 feet tall.

The projectors are 3x Sanyo PDG-DHT8000L.

Interactivity will be in the form of 6x PS3 Eye camera's and 6x Kinects. (This forced us to go SR-2 as to get additional PCI slots, as of right now Kinects don't play nice unless they have a whole USB bus to themselves).

Some fun pieces but ultimately the build is going to be fairly utilitarian. I had originally planned 2x GTX 590, however as they became hard to source in Canada we've elected to go 2x Quadro 5000's which is going to be a serious hit to performance but will make the overlap setup with the projectors considerably easier.

System
EVGA SR-2
Xeon X5650 (2.66) six core (x2)
Corsair AX1200
Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz CL9 (6x4GB, 24 GB total)
PNY Quadro 5000 (x2)
USB 3.0 Cards (x3)
WD Caviar Black 1TB (x4)
OCZ Agility 3 (120GB)
Prolimatech Megahalems Rev.B (x2)
Noctua NF-P12-1300 (x4)
Lian-Li PC-V2120B
BenQ XL24010T (1080p, 120hz) (x3)

Bottom of the fan brackets had to be bent to clear the memory, won't be able to run push pull in this configuration with 6 dimms per CPU.

Case will be exhausting to the top. Not ideal, but keeps the 2nd Xeon from eating the 1st's exhaust.

The Wall.
 
Sounds like a really cool project. Can't wait to see it come together.
 
This is an install at an art college. Will be used for student projects within the Media Arts and Digital Technologies program. There is an existing collaboration project ongoing that is currently developing for the space.

Update

Three top fans salvaged from an earlier dual xeon setup, hopefully I don't regret this.
