Looks quite nice, but what's the point? Just to build an FPGA for fun? If so, do it and post pics  Cheesy

Well I found a company that takes you FPGA and transfers its bitstream to asic http://kaisemi.com/index.php/home. I was going to buy some virtex 7's off ebay have them bitstreamed and make asics out of those but, the funding would be way to much. Ill prob just host the .brd file and give it away.

Oh wow, that's really cool. I hadn't heard of that company before. And if you're actually serious about doing it, look for crowdfunding on sites like https://btcjam.com/ (where you can get BTC loans for whatever projects). Though I suppose it does depend on how powerful the ASIC devices you have made for you are, compared to bASIC, BFL, etc.

well most of there designs are based of low-midrange fpga's. If someone was to take high range FPGA bitstream it and send there product would run far better. http://www.xilinx.com/publications/prod_mktg/Virtex7-Product-Table.pdf
