Relating to your response and the original posters:

Can I do both with little user interaction?

I've always had the dilemma of wanting to play games/watch shows while
my wife wants to watch something else or watch a show while I play
games.  We usually solve it by me watching something she wants to
watch ;)  I'd really like to have something like you guys are
discussing.  Have 2 front projectors (overhead preferably) displaying
1 image across my entire wall without any break where the 2 output's
merge.  And then, an hour later, watch one half the wall, while the
other half displays my xbox game :)

Any ideas?  And like the original poster, something under the $17k
range would be cool.
