Digilent has a good collection of low cost FPGA boards:

The Spartan 3 board (down at the bottom) has 3 40-pin connectors plus RS-232 for $139.  Beware, the big connectors don't have many grounds.  (I'd probably turn the board over and turn half the pins into grounds.)

Their Add-on-Boards might have something helpful if you the board you pick has the Hirose FX2 connector rather than something simple and low tech.
