Not that big-about nine feet for ettins and hill giants (bearing in mind ettins have two heads )
Frost giants would be a bit taller, fire giants even taller than that, and cloud giants are the biggest, probably at about 20ft.

Of course, I'm just making that up [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Well, according to D&D 3rd edition rules, giants are considered to be Huge. 3 fully grown humans are equal to it (or atleast that is what my fingers say).
