I don't know about the "legal" position. However, it seems to me if
you are buying the PC for personal use, there is no risk of losing
your PC.
If you are buying alot of them for corporate use or resale, might I
suggest you "leverage" the manufacturer to do the proper testing and
make the declaration. You could test them yourself. This is a
problem though because the manufacturer could make changes without
letting you know.
It is very realistic to believe that a small PC "manufacturer" would
go into liquidation before facing prosecution.

There are many small PC manufacturers in the UK who are
selling systems/equipment which are not CE marked. This
is clearly illegal. Can any one suggest what the legal position
would be for the purchaser of the goods?. Is there any
possibility that if the manufacturer is prosecuted, the goods
may be recalled. If the manufacturer then goes into liquidation
rather than face the concequences the purchaser may loose their PC.
