There are a few companies that do business in data acquisition and DSP hardware (slap a RF front end and antenna in front of these and you got a SDR) that offer many, many form factor (i.e. PCIe) for all kinds of applications. Unfortunately they are not playing well with the GNU Radio environment as far as I know. The supporting software environment will quickly exceed any budget you have in mind.
Here is the biggest ones I have in mind if you are still interested: http://www.innovative-dsp.com/ http://www.pentek.com/ http://www.spectrumsignal.com/ Processing wise, they are all using the FPGA much more than your typical Ettus USRP. This involves Simulink (3000$), HDL Coder (10000$) and Xilinx System Generator (5000$) packages that will set you back quite a bit but allow rapid implementation of all your DSP needs (effectively replacing GNU Radio) right on the FPGA. Aside from that on the software side each company offers their own custom supporting software libraries and drivers although I am sure you can hook to MATLAB and Simulink too somehow. So I don't think this is what you need if you're looking for a cost efficient platform that supports free software but there is indeed many PCIe SDR platforms that exist out there worth mentioning. Your best bet is that maybe someday Ettus Research will have a product with PCIe form factor.. I wouldn't count on that anytime soon though.
