Introduction
I will give you approximately two seconds to figure out DFI's target market for their new LANParty line of motherboards...time's up! Hard one, isn't it?! Most enthusiasts' and LAN gamers' eyebrows probably perked up just from seeing the review title and product name (the acronym "LAN" seems to spark a lot of interest for some reason...could it be related to gaming or something?).
I know when I first saw the phrase "DFI LANParty" my curiosity was peaked, and I had to know exactly what DFI was selling so I started investigating. What I found definitely was not disappointing. DFI offers a Canterwood, nForce2 and KT400A LANParty board. On top of getting your choice of the hottest chipsets, you also get plenty of standard goodies in every LANParty box, like FrontX, UV reactive round cables, UV reactive slots, dual LAN, RAID 1.5 (yup, 1.5 -- DFI has something new for the RAID world), and much more. I haven't seen a package this extensive since Chaintech's 7NJS Zenith... So, let's dig in and take a closer look at what the LANParty KT400A has to offer!
