How much are the devkits? Can an Actel do 1x PCI-E gen1,
or usb2/3? (the other interface of note might be thunderbolt..

I'm thinking this looks like it would work pretty good for
an openshader devkit too...

I am currently looking for an opencores or1k or or1200 I can 
fit on a XESS Xula2 board. 

I'm still stuck with the crappyness of the FPGA dev toolchains.
The Xilinx ISE I'm trying to get installed to make bitstreams
for my xula2 is multi-gigabytes.

Going back to xess.com, for:
$14.95 (stickit motherboard)
$14.95 (stickit vga module)
$119  (xula2 XC6SLX25)
---
~$150 total, you get a usb-connected module that can do VGA.
