My guess would be $50 on the low side and $75 on high side ....the biggest
cost factor after the module would be the PCB board and possibly assembly if
the rest of the components are SMT (so we can shrink the board size down).

I would like to make it 2.5" (size of the 50 pin edge connector) by what
ever the maximum height needed would be to contain the rest of the
components - 1.5" minimum
