My MiSTer FPGA was about $200 before I was playing games. $700 is either hyperbole or have DE10 Nano board prices really gone up THAT much?

After DE10 Nano, you need just a RAM module and a I/O board and you're ready to go.

The MSRP of the de10 nano is $225, but they are commonly out of stock still. The going price for a scalped de10 nano is over $300, so all is you are likely looking at $400 to $500. I kick myself often for not getting multiple de10 nanos earlier (there are more projects that used them than just mister).

Just tried from Terasic website. Tried to order two for $225 each, they seemed to be available.

That said, the price has almost doubled in a few years...
