Unless I'm mistaken, the canvas is 1000 X 1000, so you'd need exactly 1 million beads. So, it would cost however much it costs to purchase 1 million beads. Also, you'd need the correct proportion of colors. I think there were ~16 colors (needs confirmation), and I'm sure someone clever at computering could figure out exactly how many of each color are in the final canvas for you.
As for time, I dunno. If you've done hama/perler bead art before, I'm sure you can do an estimate of how long and how many beads it took you to do certain pieces, and then just do the math to get to 1 million beads. For reference, if it took you 1 second to place each bead, and you worked nonstop without sleep, meals, or restroom breaks, it would take you about 11.5 days. If you limited yourself to 8-hour days, it would take you a little over a month. If it takes more like 6 seconds for each bead (probably more accurate), it would take you about half a year, nonstop for 8-hour days, no weekends. You still up for it?
EDIT: Here is one of the better Amazon deals I found for perler beads. You would need to buy 50 of these to get to 1 million beads, but in order to ensure you've got enough of the primary colors, you might have to double that. So let's say you purchase 100 of these, it would cost $3500. I'm guessing you could get a bulk deal elsewhere and cut that cost in about half, so maybe like $2000 if you shop around.

Perler beads. Is someone doing this? If one bead is one pixel it would cost about $800 (possibly cheaper in bulk somewhere).
