FWIW, I like the concept. I sketched out just such a machine a couple of years
back.
Only USB and IDE (and video) connectors. USB in the bios will easily allow you
to
do the same things that a serial port will. This debug port does sound like a
bad idea.

If you don't want to do PCI, USB is very fast and you can build the PCB any way
that you want.
