Qseven won't get you much in terms of performance, neither in available CPU/GPU nor in features (only 4 x1 PCIe lanes)... if you want actual beasts go for Comexpress Type 6 (or, if you're willing to deal with embedding a GPU yourself and need more PCIe lanes, Type 7) but be prepared the connectors aren't cheap, the standard isn't open (although there are some copies floating around on the 'net) and routing all the high frequency stuff is a pain that requires at least three if not four layers.

The MNT Reform motherboard has 6 layers, which I consider a small number. Also, I was thinking about adopting MXM for a GPU slot.
