I would think you may be talking closer to $1000 a board, after you figure in board design, prototypes, testing, components, assembly, new SW to drive it, all split over 500 to 1000 boards.

Remember the MK1 and MK2 when they were released were around $1500, and I am guessing that the cost of the metalwork, display and hard disk wasn't the expensive bit.
