I stumbled across this item for sale that looked interesting - can't find any mention of it in the usual forums or facebook groups:

Mac SE/30 Peeker Diagnostic Kit (v4.5) - Joe's Computer Museum

Both of my SE/30s work, but I kinda want one just to be mesmerized by the blinkenlights! I like the ground connections and easy test points for oscilloscope.

Here are some videos about it:

The combination of a transparent SE/30 case with a "stand up" version of Joe's board would be awesome.

with a "stand up" version

@zigzagjoe made one that stands up and has a PDS passthrough.

I believe @MacintoshLibrarian had something similar in mind with my card. The middle connector is intended for inserting logic analyzer probes, but it can also be used for a second PDS card. Note that these weren't intended for use in a case so you would need a modified chassis if you really wanted to show it off. Files to make your own are here.
