No, mining on anything other that ASIC hardware will be too power-inefficient to be worth messing with.

Oh wait you're probably wanting to build a GPU rig to mine altcoins.

Might try asking in the altcoins section, where GPU rig building is a frequent subject of discussion.

Well that is extremely interesting.  Never seen anything quite like this.  Have you asked for pricing at all?  So you would have to buy one of their single board computers to run the backplane.  I didn't look at all of them but the first compatible one I see has modern xeon's so it wouldn't be cheap.  Be nice if you could get a low cost "SBC" with a not so fancy cpu to run it.

EDIT: It also looks like you would only be able to use half of the PCIe slots since most modern GPU cards are double-wide.
