Anyone using PCI-e Multipliers?

I have run across this listing, and I'm wondering if it will function properly mining with a lot of cards, using the BAMT linux disto, or any other linux setup.

Are there any limits to the number of GPUs per system? Will running 4 pci-e 1x cards per slot x 5-6 slots overload the pci-e lanes?

I was sticking to 5 gpus per system, on the cheap base systems I have (gd45 mobos, 8gb ram) but the idea of turning that into 20-25 gpus per base unit would be very entertaining! (Not that I could find enough GPUs to fill it at this time)
