I wouldn't do it that way. 

Ethernet is my preferred solution: I run my RPi headless as a normal host 
on my LAN and SSH into it from whatever bigger box I'm sitting in front 
of. If I wanted a GUI on it, it would be equally simple to do that over 
the LAN.

If you need a lot of RPis, put them all in a common case/rack together 
with an Ethernet hub (16-port switches are available from under £20 at 
Ebuyer) and a common PSU (5v 26A regulated PSUs from £35.00 at Power 
Supplies Online http://www.powersuppliesonline.co.uk/) and you can talk 
to as many of them as you want simultaneously via SSH, VNC or whatever.

Or you might see if anybody has ported the Beowulf clustering system to 
the RPi yet - that could be fun to play with.
