I may sound stupid, but where is a joy in spending month and a half
earnings on ready PCB... The real fun is to order chip samples, take
some wires and solder it :)
Oh, yea, for those BGA's I will need to get some microscope too...

Just a stupid answer provoked by anouncemnts which get on this list
lastly - are you sure this is a right place to put anouncments? And
$500 is not that cheap.

How about going TTL, with 150+ chips per computer , lots of fun y'all.

Well this is not the right place, but you get what you pay for:
a good product and good service.

Ben.
PS. Having a altera FPGA prototype board is a pain since I
have to update to new software/ licence every 6 months, a real
pain and the free-software is only under windows.
