I see a couple of good project reasons to get the board:

(1) The FPGA is a Xilinx device and we currently use Altera FPGAs.
Getting a second vendor FPGA increases ability to test cores.

(2) The laptop is a complete system that allows SW to start utilizing
the HW and develop drivers etc.

(3) The laptop is something you can easily transport around and use to
show the Cryptech system running on actual HW.

BTWm, Bunnie - is the infrastructure (drivers, loader etc) needed to
create and use a HW core in the FPGA available? That is, take a SHA-256
core for example, wrap it in suitable wrapper to match the board, send
the RTL through ISE to get a config file and then have SW in the laptop
load the config in the FPGA and talk to the design from userland?
