Emax

I would say about 50 USD, that's *without* a nice case and with the wires soldered directly to the board.
Once the thing must be built into an attractive case with built-in connectors for both USB and EII/Emax cables, and with some leds on it, the price will increase a lot.

My emucombox device is just sitting in the box in which the Atmel demo board is delivered, the USB cable is connected to the Atmel demo board's native mini-USB bus, and the cable towards the EII and Emax is just a set of wires, soldered to the print board and to a DB25 EII connector and at the same time to a DB9 Emax connector. Not professional at all, but it works and this way the device is very cheap.

Here's my estimation of maximum prices for the individual parts of the Emucombox (in EUR):
- Atmel AT90USBKEY kit --> 30 EUR (includes USB cable)
- UA9638 and UA9637A line driver ICs --> 3 EUR
- Resistors and capacitors --> 2 EUR
- SUB D DB9 connector with casing --> 4 EUR
- EuroCard print board 10x10cm --> 5 EUR 
- Print connectors --> 2 EUR
- Wires --> 2 EUR
But it should be quite easy to lower the total price with 20 pct...
