It should be around $8k of a NI CRIO-9082 8 slot


OP, if you really need the Intel i5 processor, you can get a mini-ITX based solution and run it as a coprocessor. You'd be hard-pressed to fit it under the $400 price point, though. There's also nothing in FRC that requires the power of an i5. You can easily do vision processing using the ARM processor architecture found in a smartphone, Linux, and OpenCV.
