I mean there has been some boards out there with a daughter board that houses the daughter board. Could possibly do the same with the VRMs, memory, or ports even.
The socket is almost mini-itx sized. 
I guess they could do a riser board but sure would be interesting looking.

What a massive socket! I have to admit, ASRock (building around it) made some great looking motherboards.

Even if they found a way to make it fit, they'd probably have to use SODIMMS. I don't think anyone will try, but if anyone did, ASRock are the ones most likely.
