The original packaging of the DFI clearly indicates the field of application.

In addition, there are lots of accessories, ranging from the fluorescent IDE round cables, two Serial-ATA connections complete with voltage adapters, a game port panel and an SP/DIF panel without an optical output to a front panel with variable components (FrontX).

On top of this, there is a bag for transporting PC tower, keyboard and mouse, so that the LAN party freak can carry everything on his/ her shoulder. A sticker reading "LAN Party" was designed to create brand loyalty.

Automatic updates for driver and BIOS via Internet.

Our assessment in brief: in spite of the extensive and interesting range of accessories (especially for LAN party freaks), the overall DFI package is not able to giving a completely convincing performance. Slight cutbacks must be made in terms of memory performance and the low-cost components (RAID controller, voltage controller). The automatic BIOS update via the Internet is a positive feature.
