a stack of nvidia or ati cards will happily support as many displays as
they have ports in general with the upshot being the count is a multiple
of the number of 16x pci-e slots that you have. without messing around
it's easy enough to get to six I've personally done 10...

usb display-link to vga or dvi adapters do port expansion fairly well
but fall down on the bandwidth side of things.

cross display tiles (for  example displaying a movie across more than
one screen) is easy enough give driver support for a common frame buffer
across multiple gpus.
