hello,

I am very interested in this project, as I am in the process of learning
verilog / FPGA based design (I also happen to be a professional game
programmer, so I know 3D graphics pretty well).

Is there any timeframe/price on when I will be able to buy (or build) the
FPGA based development board (I'd be willing to build my own if there are
schematics/pcb layout files) ?

I currently have a dragon board (spartanII/pci/usb) and am starting to
find it limiting, though it could be useful as an ~$200 PCI analyzer
during development.
see http://www.fpga4fun.com/board_dragon.html

on a side note, has anyone else tried using a toaster oven for SMT
reflow soldering ? I was not having good luck with that technique (I stunk
up the house ;< ). I'm stuck with hand soldering SMT tqfp FPGA packages 
(400K gates or less) until I can figure out how to solder BGA's.
here is a link describing the process if anyone is interested:

I am willing to help with drivers or verilog/vhdl on this project.

thanks,
