I like that idea. 
I was also considering another popular format with a larger (cheap)
2-layer board with all the I/O interfaces , regulators etc, and a small
(not so cheap) 4 or 6 layer removable daughtercard for the CPU, core
logic and memory, since you need that many layers for the BGA's anyways.
I've seen a few like that using SO-DIMM connectors for the "core" card,
but I'm not sure how many people feel comfortable prototyping their own
system card with the SO-DIMM interface on it. Any opinions on that ?

 
Thanks
