the Xilinx Virtex UltraScale+ VU9P FPGA prototyping boards seem to be 9000 USD. Anything in the 1000$ range ?
- almostgotcaught 2y agoebay has a bunch of Alveo U30 cards for ~500. 500k luts, 3000 dsp slices, ~1M registers, even some DDR. fair warning: one does not "play around" with an FPGA. they are the antithesis of user friendly.

So I doubt it will be easy to find cheaper model to reduce costs. Another hidden fee would be Vivado and Vitis (tooling) licenses, which you need for most upper-end FPGAs.
