I've worked with 4 screens simultaneously from 1 computer, with an ATI radeon 4550 (4 VGA outputs). vvvv has great networking capabilities, great 3d 2d graphic quality, vvvvery fast rendering (120fps). so if it only works in windows (a shame) but the advantages are much bigger. also is very fast to develop interactive aplications, and sound reactive visuals.

You can get 8 DVI outputs from a single computer without too much trouble. Intel QX6600 chip should provide plenty grunt. Quartz composer will happily do this type of stuff. It supports networking and full multimedia etc, very good stuff. Flash only just introduced the ability to process audio beyond play and stop. Sounds like you guys are a bit out of your depth, though. I’d use a bunch of hackintoshes built to spec. You can get 8 DVI outputs from a single computer without too much trouble.

Which is a shame. The bottom line, for the hardware, is that you will need to plug those displays into something -- 32 graphics cards, with enough power behind each to run HD. If this all acts as a single system, a central server would be nice. I suppose the "server" could be build into the distributed system of the computers running the screens, but I would imagine that the added complexity of development might outweights the cost of a server machine. supposedly vvvv allows for easier multi-projector setups, but since vvvv itself relies on DirectX, it seems to be a Windows-only tool.
