Looks interesting, though I've a few gripes.

I think soldering the CPU direct to the motherboard is a stupid idea, it's probably the single most expensive part on the board with the most contacts to be made, if a mistake is made while placing it you run the risk of not only it being lost but also the motherboard.  Why not attach it to a little daughterboard instead ?  Would also allow a purchaser to upgrade in the future by buying a new CPU on a daughterboard from yourself.

Also will you be selling the motherboard with an ATX backshield thing ?  (the bit that the USB ports etc poke through when it's put in a case)  The way you've done the speaker ports doesn't look standard so people would have to do some nasty hacking to get things to line up in a case.

Just my 2cents :-)
