Greetings,

@Speel
They'll prolly call that the AIR Mobo! The first PC without a Mobo. I recall long ago students of my High School batch assembled for the school fair a bunch of resistors and IC to create their very own video game. Didn't see it work though. Just wonder what happened to them.
Heh, my dad made such a computer 20 years ago :-)
development-wise it's a very logical thing to do; per part testing is easy, and replacing when something's defect is very easy, and of course, the upgrade-ability is not to be underestimated.
