You have to look for some pretty old comments to understand the setup:

Seriously, what's with all the stupid in these comments?
People, they didn't just set up a cluster with 24 screens to be able to
boast about playing Quake on it. (Though that probably added some degree
of motivation.)
It was, as stated, a proof of concept. Use 12 computers and use them to
calculate one game image, split on 24 screens. That's pretty durned
amazing.
What kind of computers did you use, and how many changes did you have to
do to the quake engine to make this work?
