I intended to add a link to these Spartan-3 boards for only $99.
Certainly a price range for the interested hobbiest!

But only one tenth the gates of the chip Timothy has specced, and no
video interface.
Excuse me, it has a VGA interface. But 1/128th of the RAM.
Yes, I just thought it was a great proof of concept. It certainly
doesn't have the horse power needed.
I have no experience with FPGA's; the programming methods, ways of doing
things, verilog, VHDL, etc. Basically - I don't know anything about
them. So I want to get something that I can play with that:
1) Doesn't cost a lot
2) I can work with entirely from Linux
3) Have all the source for
4) Is as close to possible to a PCI FPGA video card
I'd like to first get used to the JTAG interface to these cards and
bringing up the the chip for the first time. See how much I can do with
a known working board.
Enjoy the fun,
Jeff
5) Absolutely no windows. I'm just doing this on the side for fun; the
last thing I want to do is irritate myself. I can't be the only one on
this list that finds the thought of even having to touch a windows
machine irritating.
