DCE's Viper520 is an internal expansion that will give you a 33MHz
68ec020 CPU, 8 megs RAM, socket for a 33MHz 68882 Coprocessor, 3.0
ROMs, 1 44pin IDE interface (including some space to mount a 2.5" hd)
and 2 40 pin IDE interfaces. I you want to connect external devices,
you would still need to solve power and housing problems. 

Unfortunately, they are relatively new and won't sell cheap.
Converting German Marks to USD, I'd say about $130 for a new one.
