I'd definitely be interested in a project like that, but I think customizing a PCB layout and sending it off for manufacturing would be too much for many people that would otherwise be interested in it. I think a project like that would gain more traction if it focused on designing high quality boards for a few popular laptop models (MacBooks or ThinkPads IMO) and making those available via on demand manufacturing and/or crowdsourcing a bulk run.

IIRC they used a variation of this a second time on a newer model of iPod. They found a way to trigger the click speaker, wrote a program to dump the ROM via the clicker Morse code style, and left it sitting next to a microphone in a foam lined box for a few days.
