Soon we should have FPGA boards in the realm of GPU costs ($200-600) that everyone could buy.

Specs ?

In those price points you wont see 20+kh Cryptonight and 17GH/s Keccak

Youll also be dealing with older chips - 28nm variety Xilinx 7 series.

But - you can get performance on par with similarly priced GPUs (at 10% of power)for most of the discussed algorithms. And thats from a relatively new platform that hasnt had near the level of optimization. I hesitate to give exact specs yet because things can change between engineering samples and shipping products.

Overall if you have $500 to spend and want to get into FPGAs you can do it profitably, but if you have $5000 you can participate much more profitably $ for $.
