How much would it cost to make one?

  Just by breezing through the hardware specs, using the stuff they recommend, I'd estimate around $35k -$40k... So let's call it $50k, built and ready to use =) those cameras are $1.5k each...17 of them. Edit: Actually, those lenses are around $700/each as well. And you would definitely want a professional putting it together for you with that kind of money. So $100k probably. Definitely made for industry/production use, not for someone trying to film a weekend trip in the mountains haha.

    Retail cost for the Point Grey camera is about 1.3k and Sunex is around $130. Total cost is running about 30-40k, including computer hardware.

    >not for someone trying to film a weekend trip in the mountains haha. The GoPro Omni and the NCTECH IRIS360 may be a little bit closer to the indie scene rather than the professional scene, but those solutions are still $2000 - $5000... and are only 4-6 camera solutions.
