Thought of you guys when I saw this. This pperson is looking for someone in the Dallas Tx area to build a vidoe screen project for $500 + expenses. I sent them to this forum... but don't know if they have checked their thread yet.

I don't think it would work out, since it's based in Minneapolis, but I used to work for a company that did something pretty similar. What we did was took 64 PDAs, put them on a wall (4tallx16wide) and made them become a video screen when put together. They were all controlled by one main computer; a little PIII. The thing used Flash, rather than MPG or something, since that allows for interactivity. They made a little cartoon guy jump from screen to screen, and even had this program where each PDA had an arrow, and the arrows would all point to the last touched PDA.
Of course, like I said, this company is based in Minneapolis. Also, because it's a for-profit company (as opposed to some guy that happens to know how to do it) It will probably cost a lot more than $500
