Well, you need at least 5 projectors, but projectors aren't too
awefull.  It definately is the sort of project that Dave M. could have
afforded once upon a time.  Assuming ownership of Onyx, the MCO would
probably set one back several hundred at least, especially if one has to
go to a place like MXE or reputable.  Plus $500 to $1k each for 5
projectors.
