Pico-ice looks nice but i was looking more into the computational aspects of fpga's and the heftier artix series

I do have some "experience" with embedded systems and programming in general, which is probably why fpga's seemed so interesting to me. I'll probably buy a little 30 bucks pcie fpga and see what i can do with it...

what kinda stuff have you been able to do with that pico? Seems like an interesting little board
