To many, with the demise of ABIT, DFI has become the undisputed king of enthusiast
motherboards. DFI boards typically overclock well, offer nifty
features and assertive style. The "LANParty" moniker used for their
current desktop boards perhaps most aptly applies to the LANParty JR 790GX-M3H5.
It is a mATX motherboard utilizing the AMD 790GX chipset, so it can be run without
a graphics card, but it also sports two full-sized PCI Express slots to utilize
dual graphics cards in CrossFire. Gamers who lug their systems frequently to
LAN parties would most appreciate the promise of a small, yet potent gaming
system. The high level
of customization the board provides may also be a boon for those interested
in silent computing.

The included cables are bright yellow and UV reflective, and the IDE cable
is rounded. Also included are a CrossFire bridge and the DFI equivalent of Asus'
Q-Connector kit which eases the task of wiring the front panel and USB headers.
