Mega LCD Display form NASA

The smart boffins over at NASA have the advantage of studying the tiniest of tiny details in space thanks to the world’s highest resolution visualisation system courtesy of NASA’s Advanced Supercomputing Division at Ames. This new 128 display screen is dubbed the Hyperwall-2, and it is capable of rendering 250,000,000 pixels at once. It measures a mammoth 23′ x 10′ and runs off the power of 128 GPUs and 1,024 processor cores

which boast 74 teraflops of peak processing power. As if that is not mind boggling enough, the Hyperwall-2 requires 475 terabytes of storage in order to keep functioning. Man, and you thought your $10k Alienware rig was phat.
