this is actually embarrassing but i found this board at a local store... but i have no idea if this is what i want
well, this is the board: http://www.ekt2.com/_files/41%20fpga%20trainer.pdf along with a pdf that's supposed to be a poorly translated manual (from chinese as i was told) it's is my first project with fpga so the question is... can i actually start with this thing ? can i program the device or i need a USB blaster or byte blaster? can i make a simle "blink led" project with this ?!

From a quick look it seems that you will need an external JTAG probe to configure the FPGA, USB/Byte/Ethernet blaster.
I hope it's really cheap because the Cyclone present on the board is quite limited in resources compared to more modern chips. If you have the money I'd advise to take a cyclone iii starter kit (http://www.altera.com/products/devkits/altera/kit-cyc3-starter.html) instead, the FPGA has a lot more logic resources and there is an embedded USB blaster.
