The Terasic DE-0 board looks interesting. It has a mid-size Cyclone IV on it, with two 0.1" headers, as well as RAM and a USB interface. I don't own one, but if I was looking for a cheapie dev board, that would be towards the top of the list. I do own a DE2, with a 2C35 on it, and I have been very pleased with it.
