This is about $80 from newegg.
You can buy similar things for VME and cPCI, for roughly 100 times the price.

technically it is probably "illegal", since the EMC approvals for all the bits and pieces in a PC assume they are in a closed metal box

Well, sue me!
We are developing a bunch of cabled PCI Express stuff, and this will be great for getting access to boards, or for inserting protocol analyzers and stuff.
I suppose it's technically illegal to operate a PC with the side cover off. Or to build your own PC from parts.

So you get the sockets that should plug into a VME or cPCI back-plane, but no backplane?
I had to engineer a couple of my own high performance backplanes back in the late 1980's, and it wasn't a trivial job.

in a lab I believe almost everything is ok as long as no one complains, I remember we had "lab use only" on some stuff we sold for bluetooth development before the standard was finalized and there was a way to get approvals
I seem to remember that there was lots of discussion on how to handle PCs and CE because it would be nightmare to test every possible combination and what to do when people bought a new graphics card.
So I think the end was the CE approved computer parts in a CE approved computer box is assumed to be CE compliant

Like the thing in the middle picture.

For FCC compliance, one just tests the bits and then add 6dB to the results. If it passes that, the bits are good to go. I'm pretty sure CE is the same deal, if anyone really cared.
Besides, how do you keep the mice out?

You put them on a leash!

And these have something to do with the stuff you are advertising? And are equally cheap?
I - for one - would apprecaite a coherent narrative.

That makes two of us. Likely more than two.
