Good for you.

I live in Indonesia, and struggling to death for getting XC3S100E
from AvNet and NuHorizon Singapore (I mean buying it, not getting free
samples of it).

I don't know what they're thinking about. But I think small customer
who
ordered 10-pieces of XC3S100E for electronic billboard is not worth
enough to serve.

That's where Digikey saved my day =)

I just wish there are more distributors that specialized in small
order
quantity. FPGAs and CPLDs obviously not an easy part to search in
SE Asia region.

Impressive. And six significant figures in the $11122.80 pricing! What
sort of component? As I recall, the most expensive Xilinx FPGA is around
$9800."

Just an imaging device: a Cypress STAR-1000:
WWW.Cypress.com/portal/server.pt?space=CommunityPage&control=SetCommunity&CommunityID=209&PageID=259&fid=208&rpn=STAR-1000&ref=sch
though what we actually bought was a Fillfactory STAR-1000 before
Cypress acquired Fillfactory.

Today, the space qualified one (CYIS1SM1000AA-HQC) is priced at $3115 on
WWW.ArrowNAC.com/aws/pg_webc/0,4513,,00.html?application=SEARCH&event=1000&search_criteria=match_begins_with&match_in_stock_only=NO&7486=&rows_to_display=10&full_domain_name=www.arrownac.com&super_neda=4653&start_index=0&search_token=CYIS1SM1000AA-HQC
and on
HTTPS://WWW.EM.Avnet.com/pns/home/0,5533,CID=0&CCD=USA&SID=0&DID=DF2&LID=0&BID=DF2&CTP=PNS,00.html?ref=https://emwcs.avnet.com/webapp/wcs/stores/RedirectWCSLogon?langId=-1&storeId=500201&catalogId=500201&reLogon=https://www.em.avnet.com/auth/framelogin/&URL=RemoteAdvancedSearchView%3FlangId%3D%2D1%26storeId%3D500201%26catalogId%3D500201%26manufacturerPartNum%3DCYIS1SM1000AA-HQC
at $3738.

The prototyping one (CYIS1SM1000-EVAL) is priced at $9269 on
WWW.ArrowNAC.com and $11122.80 on HTTPS://WWW.EM.Avnet.com .

These are the same four prices on those websites when I checked in
December 2006.
